The resort of C'an Picafort lies on the North East coast of Majorca at the southern end of the long Bay of Alcudia. Transfer time from the island's airport in Palma is approx 1.1/2 hours, which is often almost as long as the flight to Majorca from the UK.
The resort itself has a very strong German influence, with many of the numerous bars and restaurants targeting the German tourist. Whilst the English peseta spending tourist is never turned away you may feel "uncomfortable" in a German dominated environment.
C'an Picafort is not a purpose built tourist resort and still has a small working harbour from where a number of pleasure trips also depart several times each day.
The resort has a beachside promenade, lined with restaurants and bars, running from the marina and fishing harbour to the Son Baulo area.
The main beach area is approx 1km away from the resort centre in the Baulo district, here is also where you will find a small protected nature reserve. Although parents with small children should be aware that this area has a large pool of stagnant water and is host to a number of other "less protected" species of wildlife.
Other than the bars and restaurants, the resort has very little other tourist attractions and evening entertainment is generally hotel based.
