Platges de Peguera, Beach in Peguera, Calvià, Spain
Platges de Peguera is a Mediterranean beach on the southwest coast of Mallorca, divided into several connected sandy sections running along the shore. The sand is pale and fine, the water stays shallow near the shore, and a promenade ties the different sections together.
Peguera was a small fishing settlement with little outside attention until the mid-20th century. In the 1960s, hotel construction began along the coast and gradually turned the area into a resort destination.
Peguera grew from a small fishing settlement into a resort from the 1960s, when hotel construction began along this coast. The name Peguera is also that of the surrounding locality in the municipality of Calvià, on Mallorca's southwest shore. The beach sections are joined by a promenade, and the sand fills quickly on warm days.
Lifeguards are on duty during summer months, and showers and restrooms are available along the beach. Arriving in the morning gives you a better chance of finding space, as the sand fills up quickly on warm days.
Just below the surface a short distance from shore, snorkelers can spot sea bream, mullet, and other fish without any special gear. This makes the water worth exploring even for those who did not come specifically for diving.
