Step aboard in Port d’Alcúdia for a 4½-hour panoramic cruise to Formentor Beach, passing lighthouses, pine-clad capes and views of Menorca. Spend an hour ashore to swim and relax before the return voyage.

The boat slips away from Puerto Alcudia and the island’s northern coast unfolds: limestone cliffs cut into bright sea, a low pine-studded cape, and the white sweep of Formentor Beach waiting in the Bay of Pollença. Passengers lean on the rail as the Aucanada lighthouse recedes and Menorca’s silhouette hangs on the horizon — the Mediterranean daring you to step out of the harbor and into open water.

History
The Formentor area has long been a maritime corridor; lighthouses like Aucanada were built in the 19th and early 20th centuries to guide coastal traffic and fishing vessels.
Conservation
The northern Mallorca coast is sensitive: stay on marked paths, avoid disturbing breeding seabirds, and take all litter back to port to protect Posidonia meadows.
