The Best Beaches in Majorca
A few of our favourite beaches in Majorca...
Alcudia
Overview
Found towards the north in one of the busiest resorts across the Island, Alcudia Beach is understandably popular. This 3 kilometre long stretch of fine white sand is arguably the finest across Majorca, thanks to the range of activities on offer here. If its entertainment you're looking for then there's an abundance of watersports on hand, ranging from parasailing for the brave to scuba diving for the curious. If you'd rather soak up the sun though there is plenty of sunbeds filling the wide open spaces across the sand, or for a refreshing break from the beach try the selection of lively bars and restaurants catered to suit all tastes and budgets.
