Boats in front of bathers: Why crossings are reaching beaches again

Answer

Why are boats still landing on beaches in Mallorca?

Small boats sometimes reach Mallorca because the islands lie on a route used in the western Mediterranean, and landings often happen on quieter stretches of coast away from major ports. When routes shift or controls change elsewhere, people may end up ashore in places that are normally used by bathers and holidaymakers.
