Answer

Are beaches and harbors in Mallorca risky for theft?

Yes, beaches, promenades and harbors can be attractive places for thieves because they are busy and full of distractions. In Mallorca, this is especially true in areas where people are relaxed, carrying beach bags or leaving items visible while walking, eating or swimming. A little caution goes a long way, especially with phones, wallets and travel documents.
