Beaches in Alcudia & Puerto Alcudia

The main attraction of Puerto Alcudia is its long sandy beach on the Bay of Alcudia, Playa de Alcudia. The calm, clear waters are ideal for swimming, diving and snorkelling, and you will find plenty of watersports. If watersports are not your thing, many visitors simply relax at one of the beach bars and cafés along the seafront.

There is an attractive marina in Puerto Alcudia too, and cruise ships often call into the port. What’s more, Puerto Alcudia is only a short distance from the walled old town of Alcudia, which is well worth a visit, especially on market day.

How to get to Alcudia

Alcudia is just under 55 km north of Palma, and the journey from the airport is straightforward. If you are in a hire car, on exiting the airport, take the Ma-19 motorway going in the direction of Palma.

Follow this road past Inca and it will take you directly to the old town of Alcudia. Once here, regular buses ferry you to Puerto Alcudia, Ca’n Picafort, Formentor, Pollensa, Puerto Pollensa, Soller and Puerto Soller. However, buses can be very crowded at times, particularly on market days, so get there early.
