Mallorcan Beaches in the Summertime

If you’re dreaming of warm azure seas with sandy beaches and nearby verdant countryside and blue skies, you may be dreaming of Mallorca. You may be imagining village houses and buildings of stone, mouth-watering foods and aromas; you might be yearning for a place with a rich history and culture that comes from an amalgamation of many peoples and civilizations. You can realize those dreams and desires year after year by purchasing a property on the lovely island of Mallorca.

Many people have called Mallorca home throughout history. The Paleolithic peoples of the region left their burial sites for discoverers between 6000 and 4000 B.C. The island has served many cultures and people since then, with the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantine Empire, North African Muslims, and Spain among those laying claim to the beautiful island at one time or another. And it might be partly because of the climate. Today the area is carefully maintained and groomed because so much of Mallorca depends on tourism and property acquisitions.

There is a mysterious charm in Mallorca, which leaves its visitors mesmerized no matter how often they come here. Visitors and residents here enjoy about 10 hours of sunshine in the summer, with temps rising to the mid-30°sC in July and August. These temperatures make the coastal waters warm, often reaching 26°C at summer’s height. There are an amazing number of beaches - around 180 beaches and calas (coves) - with white sugar sand. Fortunately, there are also always excellent property sales in Mallorca, even during summer’s peak. Most people who are interested in this island can find affordable property that suits their needs, as well as services and people to help them get accustomed to life there.

A full 25 of the 76 Mallorcan beaches have been given Blue Flag awards by the European Union. To receive the flags, the beaches must be well kept and clean. Because they are important for the successful sale of property in the area, the islanders maintain very high standards for them and work hard to maintain them. For this reason, the Mallorcan beaches are safe for children, making the area perfect for families on holiday or for those who are looking for property outside their own shores.

The calas, or coves, in the southeast portion of Mallorca create quiet and pretty indentations into the coastline. High cliffs shelter many of the sandy areas at the end of the inlets, and shady pines line the edges. The water is a warm, clear blue, and is ideal for swimming, diving, snorkeling, fishing, and boating.

No matter if you are sunbathing on the white sands of a Mallorcan beach or a swimming pool, the warm waters of the area are a welcome pleasure in the hot summer days. These summer days have captivated millions for many years, and the continued support of the islands residents and excellent sunshine will continue to draw many more to come and relax in the beautiful Mediterranean environment of Mallorca.
