Es Trenc is often described as Mallorca’s most beautiful beach, and, having visited, it’s easy to see why. A long ribbon of pale sand stretches alongside translucent blue water, backed by low dunes. It’s wild, open and blissfully free from the rows of hotels you find on many beaches on the island.

I travelled to Es Trenc car-free and found it straightforward and more relaxing than queuing for parking in the heat.

How to get to es Trenc beach without a car
Mallorca bus
You don’t need to hire a car to enjoy one of Mallorca’s most iconic beaches. I travelled to Es Trenc without a car and found it straightforward to get there.
The easiest option to get to Es Trenc is by taking the bus from Palma to Sa Ràpita. The bus leaves from the Estació Intermodal, to the north of Palma centre.
An alternative route is to go by bus from Palma to Colònia de Sant Jordi, with a change at La Verge.
Both routes are part of the TIB public transport network, and the journey takes just over an hour. I stayed in Colonia de Sant Jordi, so that I could visit other nearby beach spots like Cala des Moro and Platja es Carbo.
Pro tip: pay by card on the bus. It’s cheaper than paying with cash.
On the bus you need to tap in and out using the contactless readers by the doors. This makes sure you’re charged the correct fare, especially when transferring.
I enjoyed the walk from Colònia de Sant Jordi. It follows the coastline and along Platja Estanys to Es Trenc.
Taxis and Uber are available in Mallorca too, but they can be difficult to get during peak season and cost significantly more than the bus.
If you’re planning to visit Es Trenc more than once, I recommend staying in Colònia de Sant Jordi. It’s a lovely, laid-back coastal town with a wonderful boardwalk, perfect for evening strolls. It makes reaching Es Trenc beach without a car so easy.
