Day tours to Es Trench typically leave from nearby Palma de Mallorca, and include easy transportation and free time for you to explore the beach at your own pace. The surrounding wetlands, dunes, and salt mines offer plenty of opportunities for photography and wildlife watching; the beach itself is great for sunbathing or watersports such as snorkeling, windsurfing, or paddle-boarding. Some multi-day cruise tours also dedicate a day to Es Trenc Beach, along with other coastal highlights including Cabrera National Park or the idyllic Porto Petro.
Around an hour by road from Palma, Es Trenc Beach is a popular day-trip destination. Located at the end of a winding road between the small town of Ses Covetes and the resort area of Colonia Sant Jordi, the beach is most easily accessed by rental car or on a guided tour. Parking is free.
Despite its wild and isolated location, Es Trenc can get very busy, particularly during July and August. Arrive early to secure your seafront spot or plan your visit for the fall or spring shoulder seasons, when you’ll have more space to spread out.
Es Trenc is one of the best beaches on the island, but there are more than 200 of them to choose from, including 30 Blue Flag beaches. Cala Formentor Beach in North Mallorca includes a picturesque backdrop of pine forests with views of mountains in the distance. On the other side of the island, Es Calo des Moro Beach is one of the most scenic, though it requires a climb down a rocky path to access. Those who prefer a more lively beach experience should lay out a towel on Playa de Palma, perhaps the most developed beach on the island.
