We live from tourism and the majority of tourists who do come to the island want to go to the beach. The local authorities may be very keen to push other things from walking in the mountains to local food, but the bottom line is that most tourists come to Mallorca to go to the beach. We are faced with yet another record season and if some are to be believed the summer gets longer every year. Then why are many beaches across the island still without beach loungers and sun shades?

For little more than the cost of one day rental of loungers with one of those useless little tiki sombreros, you can buy 2 cheap beach loungers and a couple of beach umbrellas at the bazaar shop and use them throughout your holiday. Most hotels will happily take them when you leave. If the employees don't take them home, some hotels offer them to their guests for free. You might want to check that.
The vast majority of tourists don't use sunbeds. And the beaches are far better without them. The beaches are supposed to be public spaces, so it shouldn't be allowed that up to 45% of them is taken up by sunbeds.
