Answer

Are Mallorca beaches with Blue Flags always cleaner and safer?

Not necessarily. A Blue Flag can reflect good organisation, lifeguards and certain environmental checks, but it does not remove every problem you may notice on the ground. Even on well-rated beaches in Mallorca, everyday issues such as litter, traffic, or seasonal pressure can still appear.
