The underwater terrain at Platja de Son Xoriguer primarily consists of sand and algae, with some rocks. The water clarity varies across the beach, with some areas featuring clear blue water and others being less clear, especially near the rocks. However, walking further down the rocks can lead to sections with crystal clear water.
The beach is known for its exposure to winds from the west, south, and east, which makes it a popular spot for windsurfing. Despite its popularity, especially during the peak summer months of July and August, there are times when the beach is less crowded, providing a more relaxed atmosphere. It is recommended for visitors to arrive early, ideally by 09:30, to secure a sun lounger.
