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

Answer

Why are rental cars in Mallorca more likely to end up on the sand?

Rental cars in Mallorca can end up on the sand when drivers are unfamiliar with local access rules or trust navigation apps too much. A short, seemingly harmless drive across a beach lane can become a problem very fast if the route is not meant for vehicles. Clear information from rental companies could help prevent many of these mistakes.
