160 Euros for Two Sunbeds? Dispute Over Beach Access at Formentor

Answer

What does Spanish coastal law say about access to beaches in Mallorca?

Spanish coastal law requires access to the sea to remain open, including a public strip close to the waterline. That means beach services can exist, but they must not block the route to the shore. In Mallorca, disputes often arise when the legal access exists in theory but is not clearly marked or respected on site.
