The morning light slants across Alcúdia Bay as a compact motorboat slips from the sand into open water, the sea opening like a challenge that dares you to explore. Over three hours the vessel threads a coastline of sheer limestone cliffs, hidden inlets and bright coves; the boat drops anchor at the famous Blue Cave where sunlight refracts into iridescent blues and swimmers peel away to float in warm, clear water.

The Alcúdia coast is dotted with coastal watchtowers from the 16th–18th centuries built to warn of pirate raids; maritime life has shaped local villages for centuries.
Conservation
Anchoring over Posidonia meadows damages vital seagrass; many operators use mooring buoys and follow no‑anchoring rules—avoid littering and collect plastic if you can.
