There are over 12 kms of coastline between Puerto Pollensa and Alucdia, enclosed by the natural horseshoe 'harbour' of the Badia de Pollensa, providing for very safe swimming, snorkelling and great variety of water activities, as you would expect from a top Mediterranean resort.

The beaches of Puerto Pollensa stretch for over 6kms around the bay. From the shallow, 'gentille' crystal waters of Formentor to the north, through the palm-fringed apartments of 'millionaire’s row' Pine Walk, leading on to the promenade of beach bars, shops and restaurants, ending in the town centre and the jostling Marina. From here you can take boat trips, scuba dive, hire motor and sailing boats and enjoy fine dining at the yacht club.

The wider, more popular golden sandy beaches are south of the Marina and stretch for over 2kms to Roca de Llenaire. These are some of the best and safest beaches in Europe (probably the world), with look-out posts and life guards at regular intervals and numerous beach bars with palm parasols and loungers to hire. Jet skis, sailing dinghies, banana rides, parasailing, floating water parks, canoe and pedalo hires, and many more, are available all the way along .... so much fun to be had!

Carry on south and you can explore the natural lake area of l'Albufereta and hit the waves at the very popular kite-surfing beaches. Recently installed is a one-way traffic calming system, with a priority lane for cyclists all the way from the Marina to Alcudia. This is a very popular activity, especially for locals at the weekend, and an excellent way to keep fit.
