Cala Mesquida, Mallorca – Families will appreciate Cala Mesquida’s spacious shoreline and active lifeguards on duty at Cala Mesquida, set along Mallorca’s northern coast. The sea is typically calm enough for children to swim safely, and lifeguards place red flags along the beach to show when the tides are strong. There’s plenty of space to play paddle along the shore or set up umbrellas for a group gathering.
El Sardinero, Cantabria – El Sardinero is a short drive from Cantabria’s capital, Santander.
