How well is Mallorca prepared when the sea rages? Storm 'Leonardo' and the giant waves
Palma’s seafront during rough seas: what to know
What to expect on Palma’s seafront when storm waves and spray reach the promenade.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Is it safe to walk along the Passeig Marítim in Palma during strong waves?
Not always. When the sea is breaking over the seafront in Palma, salt spray, wind and slippery surfaces can make the Passeig Marítim uncomfortable and potentially unsafe, especially close to the waterline. It is better to keep distance from exposed sections and avoid lingering near the edge during heavy wave action.
