Answer

Is the Paseo Marítimo in Palma dangerous during high waves?

The Paseo Marítimo in Palma can become risky when the sea is rough, especially near the harbour edge and exposed sections of the promenade. High waves can reach farther than expected and make the area unsafe for photos or lingering close to the water. On bad-weather days, it is better to keep a clear distance from the sea.
