When the Surf Strikes: Deaths in Tenerife – What Mallorca Must Learn

Answer

Is it safe to walk close to the sea in Mallorca when the waves are high?

Not always. In rough seas, waves can reach farther than people expect and sweep across rocks or paths without much warning. On Mallorca, it is wiser to stay well back from cliff edges, rocky coves, and sea grotto entrances when the water looks powerful.
