A short 25-minute drive down the coast road from Pollença brings you to the resort of C'an Picafort which shares the same sweeping bay as Alcudia. C'an Picafort lies in the centre of the bay of Alcudia on the north coast of Mallorca. Gently curving its way around the horseshoe-shaped bay, there's thirteen kilometres of gorgeous silky white sands to choose from.

With gently shelving, fine sands, the lively but friendly and relaxed atmosphere is ideal for families and couples. Originally a small fishing village, the main hub of the resort is down by the working harbour. Evenings tend to revolve around the many restaurants and bars, choose from international cuisine or local Spanish specialities at inviting restaurants and finish the evening off with a drink in one of the laid-back bars.

The days in C'an Picafort are normally spent on the beach or around the pool in the privacy of your villa. If you fancy something a little different, you can take a stroll along the promenade and visit the weekly street market, packed with stalls selling a wide range of gifts, toys, clothing and locally produced food and drink. The attractive port area towards the southern end of the resort is the base for numerous leisure activities and boat trips. Nearby attractions also include the C'an Picafort karting track which is the biggest in Mallorca and the Rancho Grande where you can go horse riding by day or indulge yourself at one of their barbecues by night. The stretch of water between C'an Picafort and Alcudia is a favourite spot for windsurfers and lessons are available for beginners.

A number of companies offer scuba diving excursions and classes for all levels. Different boat trips head out of Can Picafort daily including ones along the stunning headland of Cap de Formentor. Check timetables locally for details. Golfers will be delighted to know that there are six golf courses within 30km. A few minutes drive away is the pretty marina and resort of Son Serra de Marina with a wide sandy beach and a church, chemist, grocers, bakers and a handful of restaurants.
