Port de Sóller, Golden sand beach in Port de Sóller, Spain
Description
Port de Sóller is a fine-grained golden sand beach extending about 610 meters along a sheltered bay with clear water. The shoreline is framed by mountain landscapes and equipped with lounges, showers, and water sports facilities.
History
Harbor development in 1866 transformed the small fishing settlement into a significant maritime trading hub for Mallorca. This expansion established its role as a major anchorage point for regional commerce.
Culture
The annual Fira i Festes de Sant Bartomeu festival in August brings traditional Mallorcan music and local food traditions to the waterfront. Restaurants and bars along the promenade reflect a living maritime heritage shaped by generations of fishing families and traders.
Practical
The water is usually calm and good for swimming and snorkeling with decent visibility most days. Visitors should know the beach gets crowded during summer months, so early morning or late afternoon offers better conditions.
Did you know?
A vintage electric tram from 1913 connects the beach to Sóller town center, running past palm trees along the coast. This charming transport system is one of few operating electric trams still in use in Europe and offers visitors an unusual journey.
