C'an Picafort Holiday
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.
Puerto Pollensa and its yachts, beach, waterfront cafés 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.
Beaches
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
There is a new promenade with a variety of shops, and you can browse round the Friday morning street market if you are looking for that extra special gift!
Nightlife
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.
Local Specialities
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.
