Port de Pollença
Port de Pollença
A relaxed family beach resort on a wide bay in north Mallorca, famous as a cycling base and the gateway to Cap de Formentor.
Port de Pollença is a low-key resort on a wide, sheltered bay in the north of Mallorca, with a long sandy beach and the Tramuntana mountains as a backdrop. It is the separate coastal half of Pollença, the historic town about 6km inland, and the two are often confused. Calm water and a famous seafront promenade make it popular with families and cyclists.
What [Destination] is known for
Port de Pollença is best known for its long, calm bay and the Pine Walk, a seafront promenade shaded by pine trees that runs along the water's edge. The shallow, sheltered water makes it a favourite for families. It is also one of the most famous cycling bases in Europe, with the spectacular ride out to the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, the northernmost point of the island, starting right from the town. The marina is a hub for sailing, diving and boat trips, and walkers head into the nearby Bóquer Valley, a well-known spot for birdwatching.

Travel tips for visiting [Destination]
The bay is shallow and calm, which makes it good for families and for swimming. For the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, set off early, as the road gets very busy and is restricted to traffic in peak summer. The Pine Walk is the nicest place for a morning or evening stroll. Many hotels here cater to cyclists, with bike storage and early breakfasts. Don't confuse the port with Pollença town, the historic market town about 6km inland.
