Last summer, around 300 people occupied Caló des Moro in Santanyi in protest at beach overcrowding in Mallorca. Organised by the Mallorca Platja Tour social media group, they said at the time: "We want to spend a day at the beach with people from here. To do so we had to come at eight in the morning, otherwise it would have been impossible."

20th June cala mesquida- group of school children with teachers went to beach last day of school day. Kids were entering the dune area (which is forbidden) and left the rubbish behind - teachers said nothing...
The filthiest ones are generally the locals. They have no respect for the environment, have no problem living amongst civil decay, graffiti, vandalism, etc. They simply don't give a ****.
"virgin beach" with 4 hours waiting time to go down just to take a selfie.
We all have seen this again and again look out the window at the small round about Red Bull beer cans etc or plastic garbage bags full in the middle of no where if you say something look out but who cleans this up Pigs spoiled Pigs and not a word from the politicians !
I’ve seen this time and time again on many local beaches. Its generally always local youths whose Mum’s clean up after them and whose Dad’s take the rubbish out at night. Spoilt brats. If you call them out, they either insult you, tell you to mind your own business or say that either the wind will make it disappear or that someone will come around to collect it. I would ban San Joan next year to teach them a lesson.
It’s all beginning to get out of hand. I just read some blurb on a new restaurant opening in old town Alcudia describing it as a “party town”. WHAT?
Some animals or more equal than others. Or something...
