Beaches
Pick the beach by the wind.
In winter the question isn't which beach is prettiest — they all are, and they're all empty — it's which one is out of the wind today. Tramuntana from the north: go south, to Es Cavallet or Es Torrent. Southerly: go north, to Benirràs or Xarraca. Here's every beach worth the drive from November to March, with the wind it hides from, where the sun goes, what's still open on it, and the walk you can start from the sand.
Dogs. Outside the bathing season (roughly November to April) most of the island's municipalities allow dogs on the beach; the rules differ by town hall and change, so look for the sign at the steps. Open in winter: beach restaurants decide month by month — we list what we've confirmed and mark the rest "to confirm". Know one that's open? Tell us.
