Tragedy in Son Bauló: Small Cove, Big Questions — How Safe Are Mallorca's Unassuming Beaches?

Answer

Why do some Mallorca beaches not have lifeguards all the time?

Not every beach in Mallorca has permanent lifeguard cover, especially smaller coves or less visited access points. Staffing and equipment often depend on the season, the size of the beach, and local resources. That is why some places rely more heavily on visitors using their own judgment and on clear warning signs.
