The combination of areas for mooring boats, the need for merchandise for the Island and transit between this Island and Menorca and other mainland ports makes this a very special port. In the 90’s the considerable augmentation of traffic, merchandise and coal made it necessary to enlarge the quay. Today, the Port of Alcudia is being conditioned to serve as an alternative to the Port of Palma for merchandise and has become the natural connection between Mallorca and Menorca by sea. It also maintains good connections with Barcelona now that the quay de Poniente has been made larger and a Passenger Station has built. It has two very different areas: the commercial area and the marina for small boats that is combined with leisure boats and fishing boats.
The beach of Alcudia is 3 kms away from the urban centre of Alcudia between the Platja de Muro to the South , Xara to the North and a small beach beside the Marina Alcudiamar. The beach is kilometric with white fine sand that slopes slowly into the sea where you can see spigots used to tie up the Glass Bottom Boats. There are also many canals coming from the different lakes that are formed second line to the sea, hence the nickname of the area being the City of Lakes. Due to the amount of seaweed found in this area of coastline, it is not a good place to anchor boats. Alcudia and it’s port, due to location and beaches, is one of the most popular residential and tourist resorts in Mallorca. The beach has life-guards and their instructions must be carried out. Keep your eye on the flags that explain the state of the sea. Pets are not allowed on the beach for reasons of hygiene and security.
