Ponderosa Beach

Ponderosa Beach is a feet-in-the-sand restaurant on Platja de Muro, one of the longest white sand beaches in Mallorca. It sits in the Casetes des Capellans area near Can Picafort, right on the waterfront with tables practically on the beach.

The setup is barefoot-friendly and relaxed. Premium sunbeds line the sand, and the dining area blends into the beach itself. Families come with kids (high chairs available, plus a kids area), and dogs are welcome too.

Paella is the main draw. It comes up in 295 Google reviews, more than any other dish. Guests also mention the ceviche (27 mentions), creamy rice dishes (26 mentions), and crab (16 mentions). The menu runs Mediterranean and Spanish, with small plates, a salad bar, brunch, lunch, and dinner service. Cocktails, wine, and coffee round out the drinks list.

Prices sit at €€€. Reservations are required, so book ahead through their website. Free parking is available both in a lot and on the street. The venue is wheelchair accessible. It's currently listed as seasonally closed, so check before you go.

Rated 4.5 from 2,970 Google reviews, with 70% of guests giving five stars. That's a strong consensus. The food and atmosphere both score well in detailed ratings.
