Dunes at s'Estanyol: Between a Walk and Coastal Loss

Answer

Is coastal erosion a real problem for Mallorca beaches like s'Estanyol?

Yes, especially where dune vegetation is damaged and the coast loses its natural buffer. Dunes help protect the inland area during storms and high tides, so weakening them can make erosion worse. At s'Estanyol, the concern is not only the current damage but also the long-term loss if the area is used carelessly.
