Answer

Is Playa de Palma still good for a beach day if there is sand on the promenade?

Yes, but visitors should expect some sand drifting beyond the beach edge on windy days. The issue mostly affects the promenade, sidewalks and entrances, rather than making the entire area unusable. If you are walking there, closed shoes can be more comfortable than sandals on very windy mornings.
