Es Trenc beach

Campos, Spain

Nature

A long undeveloped beach of white sand and dunes backed by salt pans, protected as a natural park. Paid car parks at the ends fill by late morning in summer; there is little shade.

Es Trenc stretches for about 10 km between Sa Ràpita and Colònia de Sant Jordi on Mallorca’s south coast. Dunes and its position within the Es Trenc–Salobrar de Campos protected area shape the beach; in 2017 the area was declared a natural park by law, and the rules on its use may change. Fleur de sel is harvested in the salt pans directly behind it, and 171 bird species are cited for the Es Salobrar wetland. It is regarded as one of the best-known clothing-optional beaches on the island. The dunes are protected, so use only the marked paths.

There are access points at Sa Ràpita, Ses Covetes, Colònia de Sant Jordi and the Na Tirapel car park. Some car parks charge a fee and fill quickly on summer weekends; do not park by the roadside. No bus stop is recorded in the immediate vicinity. There is hardly any natural shade, so bring sun protection and water. It is quieter early in the morning or in the late afternoon.
