Balearic Islands tighten controls on lifeguards – more safety or lip service?

Answer

What should holidaymakers in Mallorca look for when choosing a beach?

Travellers should pay attention to whether a beach appears properly supervised and whether safety arrangements look credible. That includes visible lifeguard presence, clear signage and the general impression that the beach is being managed by a professional provider. If something seems inconsistent, it is sensible to choose a better-organised beach, especially for families with children.
