Answer

Is it safe to go to the beach in Mallorca during strong wind and high waves?

It is usually best to stay well away from the shore when Mallorca has strong wind, storm warnings and very rough seas. Large waves can reach promenades, ports and beach areas unexpectedly, and conditions can change quickly. If the coast is under warning, swimming, walking close to the water and standing on exposed rocks are not good ideas.
