Port d'Alcúdia
POP 4850
Draped along the northeastern corner of the Badia d'Alcúdia, Port d'Alcúdia is a busy
beach-holiday centre with a more appealing waterfront, marina and fishing harbour than
many along this coast. Dotted with palms, its gently sloping, fine-sand beach has shallow
water and plenty of activities geared towards families.

Easter. Find it at the foot of Puig de Sant Martí crag (behind the BelleVue Club hotel).
