How to get to Alcudia Beach (and where to park without going crazy)
Forget about driving around forever looking for a spot. Access to Alcudia Beach is very simple, it is located in the municipality of Alcudia and begins in the area surrounding the marina, extending east for almost 7 km. It is possible to arrive from the main road Ma-13, which quickly connects with the port and the restaurant area.
Although the influx is high in summer, there are several areas enabled for parking near the promenade. Many hotels offer their own parking, and there are also sections of free public parking or with regulated rates. The most recommended thing is to arrive before 11 to secure a spot.
If your option is the bus, the regular services leave from Palma or Port de Pollença and stop next to the port and in the commercial area. And, if you are a fan of cycling, the cycle route runs along the bay and allows you to reach this beach like a true local.
What to do in Alcudia Beach: sports, relaxation, and options for everyone
Alcudia beach offers activities for all audiences and all tastes.
Water sports and beach activities
Alcudia is for all tastes. Lovers of sports and mild adrenaline can choose between windsurfing, paddle surfing, kayaking, pedal boats, and banana boat rides. In addition, boat trips and recreational fishing depart from the pier along the bay of Alcudia and the coast of Formentor.
Walks and relaxation
The breadth of the sandy area with more than 80 meters of width is perfect for walking along the shore, discovering small dunes and getting lost along walkways that connect with garden areas and beach bars. The promenade that borders it invites you to stroll at any time, stop at the kiosks for an ice cream, and take postcard photos.
Shopping and gastronomy
From summer fashion stores to beach bazaars and Mallorcan crafts, the commercial environment accompanies the experience without being invasive. In the area of beach bars and restaurants, you can choose between a quick beer, a paella, fresh fish, or international dishes to liven up the day.
Where to sleep near Alcudia Beach: accommodations for all tastes
If the ideal summer includes sleeping listening to the sea, the offer of accommodations in Alcudia is very wide and varied. Along the promenade and the surrounding area, you can find hotels, apartment hotels, all-inclusive resorts, rural houses, premium villas, and tourist apartments for all budgets.
The Puerto Deportivo and Ciudad Blanca area offers four- and five-star hotels, many of them with direct access to the beach, and with facilities with a swimming pool, spa, and daily entertainment for the little ones.
On the other hand, in the surroundings of Playa de Muro and Can Picafort, there are quieter options that are ideal for those looking for disconnection and a natural environment. And for the most independent spirits, the old town of Alcudia offers pensions, hostels, and boutique apartments.
In high season it is recommended to book in advance, as the demand is strong and the best prices can fly faster than a lifeguard behind an unleashed umbrella.
Alcudia Beach with children: tips for families looking for comfort
Alcudia Beach is a dream come true for those who go with children, since, in addition to being safe for them, it has shallow waters and has a phenomenal lifeguard service.
We advise you to bring an umbrella and toys to the beach, since its sand allows you to make castles that will turn the whole family into professional architects. We also remind you that there are nearby playgrounds and there are organized activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Don’t forget the sunscreen and hat, since the sun in Mallorca is serious. And remember that the showers and public bathrooms are well distributed for any unforeseen event such as “we just arrived and it’s already stained”.
