|
 |
Santa Ponsa is a popular resort situated on the south west coast of Mallorca. Since the '60s it has developed rapidly from a small village and now has it's own popular marina in addition to the usual resort features.
|
There is a large, sandy beach which stretches the width of the bay, with a smaller beach at a small cove just off the Av. Rey de Jaime I.
The beach was recently extended, as were several beaches in the Calvia area.
Sand was dredged from the bay out at sea and pumped onto the beach.
It has a promenade which cuts across it, dividing the area where there are a number of pine trees providing shade.
