Sailing

Several miles long and a mile wide but with a narrow entrance to the sea and virtually no waves, the Bay of Fornells gives the beginner a feeling of security and the expert plenty of excitement.

Wind Fornells. Here, on the beach just off Carrer del Rosari, you can rent windsurfing boards and dinghies and take lessons, individually or in groups. It's open May–October. Ctra. Es Mercadal–Fornells s/n, Mercadal, Balearic Islands, 07748. 664/335801; www.windfornells.com.
