Es Traves is the resort's main beach and the longer of the two, the second beach just a 5 minute walk away is called Playa d'en Repic. Both beaches are narrow and offer a mix of sand and pebbles; sun-loungers, umbrellas and pedalos are available to hire. The pedestrian promenade connects the two beaches and is lined with a number of restaurants, cafes and seaside shops.
