Can Picafort: Death on the Beach – Was There Enough Protection Against Water Hazards?

Answer

Is it safe to swim in Mallorca early in the morning before lifeguards start duty?

Swimming can be safe in Mallorca, but early hours usually mean less supervision and slower help if something goes wrong. That matters especially for older swimmers or anyone with health problems. If a beach is quiet and unguarded, it is safer to stay close to shore and avoid swimming alone.
