[edit] Marina
Located in the North East of Mallorca – Alcudia is a well known holiday destination. With a long sandy beach, marina, old town and many restaurants.
This is a bustling town filled with tourist shops, restaurants, British and Irish pubs and high rise hotels.There’s no shortage of places to eat out in restaurants designed for families and holiday makers. However, if you’re looking for something more local then you may struggle to find this in Alcudia.
The marina itself is well-equipped and a great place to stop if you need some spares for the boat or to stock up on food and water before heading to other smaller calas.
There is a supermarket right by the marina which is extremely expensive however, if you’re willing to walk with your shopping or get a taxi, we recommend the Eroski super market which is about a 15 minutes walk along the main drag which runs parallel to the beach.
For most yacht charters this is a location to stock on food and water, find yachting supplies or to pick up a boat from.

[edit] Accessing Alcudia Marina
The marina is very easy to find as it’s in the north corner of Bahia De Alcudia. To the east of the marina you will see two large chimneys and to the west there is a long sandy beach and high rise buildings.
Take care when approaching the marina as it is slightly shallow and can apparently be dangerous in big seas.
They cater for large and small boats with depths of around 4 meters.
[edit] Mooring
As with most Mediterranean marinas the mooring is against a pontoon (stern or bow too) with anchor lines which you pick up off the wall and run out to secure the bow/ stern of your boat.
Radio on Channel 09 when you arrive and they will tell you which pontoon is the visitors pontoon. You will find someone waiting for you at the pontoon to help you into your berth.
[edit] Facilities
The facilities are very good with modern hot showers and toilets.
There is water and power n the pontoons too however, you will need a special adaptor on your hose (same adapter they use in Puerto De Palamos). It is circa 10 Euros to buy the adapter on one of the chandlers next to the marina office. The electricity uses a normal European plug which you can find anywhere in the UK
There is an Internet cafe in the supermarket by the marina if you need Internet access. Anchoring
You can also anchor to the south west of the marina.
