Beaches near
Puigpunyent.
Puigpunyent has no beach of its own; it sits in the mountains. But the sea is close on two sides: the sandy bays of Palma and the south-west coast to the south, and the wild rocky coves of the Tramuntana to the north-west. Here are the nearest, with driving times from the village.
Palma and the south-west
Sand, calm water,
cafés on the shore.
Easy beaches for families and a quick swim, reached in 20 to 45 minutes by car. Times are rough, outside rush hour.
