Not much of a beach opposite Hotel Miramar just a narrow strip of hard dirty looking sand. We didn't use the beach sunbeds as we were able to use the Miramars private sundeck. We were very disappointed that the previous week red flags had been out everyday warning of water pollution due to high levels of ecoli. The flags were green during our week but it put me off going in the water. Hubby did have a little swim but got quite a few nasty cuts on his legs from the rocks. The beaches further along past the marina looked much nicer, nice soft yellow sand.

Love this pretty place, it's so peaceful and relaxing. For any age group this is a good resting place, lots of wonderful restaurant's. Walk along the sea front and sea a grand selection of boats. Little beaches so never over crowded.

Beautiful place and Hotel Hoposa in Puerto Pollenca is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic; the food very good; the hotel was immaculately clean. An important part of our holiday is being on the beach and swimming in the sea. Having spent a day swimming in the sea was horrified to be told by a local woman about the sea water. Looking it up in the local press it says sometimes the the sea has 10 times the WHO recommended safe level of E.coli. I asked the life guard and was told the water is tested by scientists and it is not good. A few days later we returned ( Gatwick chaos ) and again went to beach. It was a yellow flag. I asked if the water was safe and the lady said according to the last test result it was a yellow flag but that result was from two days previous and they keep the flag from the last result antil they receive a call from their manager telling the latest test result. The latest test result was late! She said she couldn't say if the flag should be red yellow or green for that day. We did not go swimming in the sea again. There are no signs warning people and very young children are playing in it. The authorities are risking people's health; it has apparently been like it for a few years. I have been going to Puerto Pollenca for 30 years before COVID and this was the first time since. Would go swimming at least twice a day in the sea but not this time. We located by accident one of the places where the sewerage runs into the sea from drains on Pine walk when a small truck came and pumped the drains and then we were horrified to see them lower the suction pipe down into the sand on the beach and pump out the same fowl smelling liquid as from the drains and it was black. Really ? The authorities in charge should hang their heads in shame.
