Palma is the shopping capital of the Balearics. Major department stores and clothing outlets are present throughout the town; the Avenida Jaimes III and the Paseo Born are Palmas answer to the Paris Champs Elysee. Pedestrian shopping precincts in the old town now extend from the Born all the way to Plaza d'Espana, via the Palza Major, with shops offering wares for all budgets and tastes.
There are a few popular beaches around town: closest to the harbour to the east is the beach just before Portixol, by Nassau Beach Club, followed by a number of beaches towards Arenal, including the 6 km long Platia de Palma. To the west, coves around Cala Major and Illetes offer good swimming and smaller beaches, before reaching the tourist resorts of Portals, Palma Nova, Magaluf and Santa Ponsa. On the swimming pool front, some of the gyms, golf clubs and country clubs have pools; some hotels will also allow non-residents to use their facilities for a fee.
