Currents, Jellyfish, Nipping Fish: How Safe Are Mallorca's Beaches Really?

Answer

What do the color flags on Mallorca beaches mean and how should I respond?

Flag colors indicate safety conditions, and some beaches also show a white field with purple jellyfish motifs. Visibility can be limited when sun umbrellas or crowds block the flag, and not all visitors know what yellow really means in practice. If in doubt, follow lifeguard directions and the posted information.
