Bring walking shoes for long strolls
At over three kilometers long, this beach invites extended walks; one reviewer specifically recommends sneakers over flip-flops.
Expect shallow water far out
The seabed slopes very gradually, so swimmers must wade considerably to reach deeper water.
Walk 20 minutes for solitude
The main entrance area near facilities is busy.
Arrive before 9am to avoid crowds
The beach fills significantly by late morning, particularly on weekends, making early arrival essential for parking and space.
Watch for litter and plastic debris
Reviewers report plastic waste scattered across the beach and note that few visitors pick it up during their walks.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Son Bou beach?
50 m in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Son Bou beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
