Perhaps that is why this shore is one of my favourites.
However I like to think that my feelings are more analytical.
The beach at Son Bou has access for the disabled.
Its golden sand runs for almost 2 miles, to San Tomas.
This is one of the southern beaches which is well served with a range of amenitiesat the eastern part.
The further west you move the less developed it becomes.

In the east the beach is backed by Son Bou itself.
Here there is an immense car park.
This combination results in the eastern end of the beach becoming very crowded chiefly at the weekend.
