Balearic Islands features top European beaches

It was recently reported that the Balearic Islands featured highly in the top 5 beaches in Europe and Spain.   Coming out top in Europe and Spain was the Playa S'Amarador located in Cala Mondrago, Mallorca.  Here the sand is very fine and white and the beach is very clean.  The crystal clear water is also very clean.   Not a long beach, but reasonably wide and flat. 

Second in Europe and Spain is Cala Salada on the island of Ibiza, located in Santa Agnes de Corona.  This natural beach comprises rocks and cliff faces, fine white sand, and crystal clear water.  The beach itself is not very long and is quite narrow.

Cala de San Vicent in Ibiza was the 4th best beach in Spain, and is located close to the village with fine white sand and crystal clear water.

Playa sa Caleta in Cala BlancaMenorca was the 5th best beach in Spain - again with fine white sand and crystal clear water although is again quite short and narrow. 

Each of the beaches benefit from several places available to eat and drink and all easily accessible on foot apart from Playa sa Caleta which has to be reached by climbing a trail or walking downhill. However, all the beaches have parking facilities nearby.

The reviewers of onbeach.com judged 3,000 beaches on over 100 criteria including cleanliness, facilities and suitability for swimming.
