Port de Pollença
Port de Pollença, Balearic Islands, Spain
Port de Pollença is a relaxed, family‑friendly harbour town on Mallorca’s northern coast, centred on a long palm‑lined promenade and a broad, shallow sandy bay. The marina and seafront are lined with seafood restaurants, cafés and small shops, and the town is a popular base for swimming, sailing, cycling and day trips to the dramatic Formentor peninsula.
What Makes It Special
The combination of a pine‑fringed promenade, a sheltered shallow beach ideal for children and the working marina—where short boat trips to Formentor Beach and the Cap de Formentor lighthouse depart—gives Port de Pollença a distinctive seaside atmosphere that suits both families and active visitors.
Insider Tips
Visit the seafront at sunrise or take an early morning boat or cycle to Cap de Formentor to avoid coach crowds and enjoy calmer seas for swimming and photography; for a quieter beach experience, head to the northern end of the bay away from the main promenade.
