Answer
Is it safe to cliff jump in Mallorca’s secluded coves?
Cliff jumping in Mallorca’s secluded coves can be extremely dangerous because water depth, hidden rocks and currents are often hard to judge. In unguarded places, help may also take longer to arrive, which makes even a single bad landing far more serious. The safest choice is to avoid headfirst jumps unless the spot is clearly marked and supervised.
