Answer

What should I check before swimming at a beach in Mallorca?

Before entering the water in Mallorca, it is sensible to look for warning signs, lifebuoys, and any visible lifeguard presence. It also helps to check the wind and sea conditions and to avoid swimming alone in an unfamiliar cove. If the beach feels remote or poorly marked, caution is especially important.
