Trouble in Es Carbó: How many boats can the small bay handle?

Answer

Why is Es Carbó in Mallorca becoming controversial in summer?

The bay is drawing more motorboats, especially in the afternoons and on weekends, and residents say that is changing the character of the area. The main concerns are noise, diesel fumes, litter, safety risks, and possible damage to the seabed. For people living nearby, the issue is not just inconvenience but the pressure on a small coastal space that was never meant for heavy boat traffic.
