Es Carbo (Ses Salines)

Es Carbó (Ses Salines) is a remote, nature-forward, shallow sand-bottom launch on Mallorca’s southeast coast, known for very clear Mediterranean water and a long stretch of white sand. Conditions are described as flat to choppy with small waves, and the access is shallow for a good distance—useful for learning-style sessions when the wind is on the softer/cleaner side. The kitesurfing focus is the summer thermal sea-breeze window (Embat-style) with typical afternoon development. Provided spot-level notes describe thermal activity typically in the afternoon (with a smaller afternoon wind window), while the regional pattern emphasizes an afternoon window from late morning into the afternoon. Reported wind is in a usable range for kitesurfing in late spring through early autumn, with best months spanning May through October. Access and on-site convenience are major factors: you may need a long walk from the nearest town/port and there are no toilets or lifeguards on the beach. In peak summer, boats anchored nearshore and higher swimmer density can reduce space and increase operational complexity; seasonal restrictions may apply due to environmental protection and swimmer safety. Bring water, sun protection, and sturdy shoes for uneven/rocky access areas, and plan to arrive early to secure setup space. Water temperatures follow a strong seasonal cycle: winter sessions are colder (mid-teens °C) and summer water reaches the high-20s °C. In practice, that supports shorter wetsuit options in summer and thicker suits (with possible boots depending on conditions) in colder months. Overall, it’s positioned as a wild, clean, shallow-water option for riders who prioritize tranquility and water quality and are comfortable with limited beach facilities and potentially longer access.
