C'An Picafort, Majorca (Mallorca), Balearic Islands, Spain
Location
At the centre of the bay of Alcudia on Majorca's northeast coast, C’an Picafort is situated on a marvellous
stretch of golden sand, ideal for relaxing. However, if you prefer a more secluded setting, there are many coves fringing
the craggy cliffs at Cabo Formentor, further along the northern coast. Originally a small fishing village, the working
harbour is still a focal point of the town, with restaurants, bars, shops and nautical day trips on offer.

The main beach stretches an impressive 13 km from C'an Picafort to the Port of Alcudia, whilst the smaller sandy
beach of Son Baulo offers stunning views across the bay. If you are feeling especially active, take a walk from Puerto
Pollensa to the brilliant blue inlets of Cala San Vicente for a refreshing swim and some excellent snorkelling.
Shopping in C'an Picafort
There is a new promenade with a variety of shops, and you can browse round the Friday morning street market if you

Nightlife in C'an Picafort
The resort's nightlife revolves around a few bars and discos, creating a low key atmosphere in keeping with this
restful resort. Anyone looking for something livelier and noisier need only hop on a bus or in a taxi to Alcudia along
the coast.
Porto Pollensa and its yachts, beach, waterfront cafes and restaurants is just along the coast as is the old Roman
town of Pollensa. In August, exclusive recitals are performed here, often with the Spanish Queen Sofia amongst the
rapt audience.

C'an Picafort has a variety of bars and restaurants, all with a friendly atmosphere. The majority of these are to
be found behind the two beaches and liberally lining the promenade running from the marina and fishing harbour to
the Son Baulo area.
