Answer

Can a private owner in Mallorca legally fence off a beach access path?

Not if that would block public coastal passage. In Mallorca, coastal access is tightly regulated, and private owners cannot simply expropriate or permanently close the shoreline. They may maintain and care for land, but the legal right to manage access sits with the public authorities.
