The journey to the Port of Soller, about 3km. away, can be enjoyed using the "Orange Express". This is an antique tram which was imported from
San Francisco.
The port has two beaches, one which runs alongside the tramway and the second, Platja d'en Repic, which is by the promenade
and normally quieter.
Both have the usual sunbeds, sunshades and pedalos for hire.
