Answer
Which Mallorca beaches are more vulnerable to jellyfish or man-of-war sightings?
The article suggests that sheltered coves can be more vulnerable because currents may push debris and marine animals ashore there. Exposed beaches can also be affected depending on the weather and sea state. The risk is local and can vary a lot, so a warning for one beach does not automatically apply to all of Mallorca.
