Stuck in the Sand: Why Cars on Mallorca's Beaches Keep Getting Stuck

Answer

Why do cars keep getting stuck on Mallorca beaches?

Cars usually get stuck on Mallorca beaches because drivers mistake sand paths or pedestrian access routes for driveable roads. In some cases, people also try to save money by avoiding official access points or simply rely too much on navigation apps. Once tyres lose grip in soft sand, the vehicle can sink quickly and recovery becomes difficult.
