Answer

Why can the Paseo Marítimo feel risky late at night?

The area brings together bars, clubs, taxis, tourists and local residents, which makes it lively but also harder to control once the night gets late. In crowded nightlife zones in Palma, small disagreements can escalate quickly, and poor visibility or delayed intervention can make situations worse. That is why the hours around closing time often feel more tense than earlier in the evening.
