Located in Puerto de Alcúdia, this fine white sand beach is 7-km long. It's the largest beach on the Balearic Islands stretching along Alcúdia bay. A place where Romans walked about in their togas and the vandals anchored their galleys. Now we find an extensive range of facilities; in the water (windsurfing, water slides, sausage rides, parasailing, catamarans, sailing boats, pedalos…) and on the beach where you can find plenty of open air bars, public toilets and showers, sun beds and parasols and much more.

In La Victoria, a unique natural setting, with a splendid view over Formentor and the Bay of Pollensa, you'll find a little grey pebble beach with a double arch shape 130-metre long and 15-metre wide. S'Illot is the name of this beach, named after the little islet (Illot in Catalan) that protects this place from the northern wind, the Tramuntana. It's a marvellous place to do canoeing, snorkelling and scuba diving because of its fanciful seabed and those green shades of the water. There's a charming picnic area within a few metres with chairs, tables and grills.

Es Barcarés outlines a bow-shaped inlet in front of a small islet. It's also an example of those timeless nooks, where everything remains unspoilt. This charming inlet contains a few mixed types of beaches. You'll find the solitude in these 100 meters of amazing beaches. Many bathers go for a swim on one of its side ends, where you'll see a little breakwater and two small rocky coves. This modest nook was in years past one of the most popular places in Alcúdia, where locals went to cool down during the hot summer days. Maybe that's the reason why the "alcudiencs", especially the elderly, drop by daily to have a good time at this marvellous place.

Es Morer Vermell is a 200 metre-long sandy and rocky beach. It's a quiet, pleasant and peaceful busy place to relax. Alcúdia's old town is only two kilometres away from here. This fact, in addition to its calm waters and a peaceful environment makes it a favourite with locals that summer in and summer out come to this beach to take a swim or have a chat. Time does not seem to go by in this nook, that's why it still keeps an ancient charming look. Under its crystal clear water, the sandy and rocky seabed is not too deep (200 metres away it's only 2-metre deep), which turns this place into a perfect playground for kids as for snorkelling
