A number of viral videos have captured the shocking moment popular beach resorts in Majorca and Menorca are hit by ‘mini-tsunamis’.

In the videos, water surges from the beaches and flows through the town.

Waves as high as five feet smashed the coast with bars and restaurants being affected.

People watch on as umbrellas and loungers are swept away by the water, and a car attempts to drive through.

The meteotsunamis, also known as meteorological tsunamis, occur when changes in barometric pressure are detected.
