The resort of Alcudia starts from the seaside town of Port d'Alcúdia and stretches 7 km along the fine white sand beach of Bay of Alcudia. The end further away from the town is referred to as Playa de Muro and due to the distance from the town, it is practically a different resort. The beach continues on past Playa de Muro all the way from Port d'Alcúdia to C'an Picafort stretching for over 10 km in total. This fine white sand beach stretching into the horizon is the main attraction of this resort and attracts thousands of tourists each year. Thus, this resort is mainly for those who wish to sunbathe on the beautiful beach, but thanks to the frequent wind in the Bay of Alcudia, the resort also offers windsurfing and kitesurfing, making the resort appealing to sportive tourists also.
The resort of Alcudia is actually called Port d'Alcúdia and Alcúdia itself is a small medieval town approximately 1.5 km Northwest from Port d'Alcúdia centrum, which tourists often refer to as Alcudia old town. This town provides a cultural experience in contrast to the beachside resort with its old fortified walls and next to the town lie old roman ruins.

Beaches of Alcúdia
The beach of Alcudia is a dream come true for many tourists, with fine white sand, glimmering turquoise water, plenty of sunbeds and parasols for everyone and quieter stretches of beach by Playa de Muro for those wanting more privacy.
The gently sloped beach is ideal for families with smaller children as the water doesn't get deep until about 50 - 100 meters from the shore.
