Answer

Why are private boat lifts on Cala Egos' rocky coast a concern for public access in Mallorca?

In Cala Egos, a hoisting device reappeared after a 2024 removal order, drawing attention to how private convenience can encroach on public shoreline. This situation highlights a boundary between private use and the shared coast, and raises questions about enforcement. It points to broader gaps in how coastal rules are applied in Mallorca.
