Platja de San Pere

Platja de Sant Pere is situated at 3,5 kilometres from Alcúdia, between Marina de Donaire "Cocodrilo" and the village of Mal Pas.

This beach together with Sant Joan are the only sandy areas of this rocky coastal stretch of Alcúdia. Young people jump from the different platforms in the areas where there is no sand, located between the marina and Punta de Manresa, where Castell (Castle) de Manresa rises, which used to defend the bay of Pollença and which was sold in the 19th century for less than 30 euros.

This sandy area surrounded by rocks is white and fine-grained and there are some residential buildings on the coastline that have reduced the system of dunes, although the surrounding vegetation still fixes this substract with thistles, pine trees and others.

This coastal area is not recommended for anchoring boats because it is very low. There are some buoys situated at two hectometres from the coastline to indicate the bathing area and there the depth is about four metres. The nearest port facilities are located at Marina de Donaire, "Cocodrilo", at 0,4 nautical miles.

The accessibility by car is easy following the signs until the village of Mal Pas that leads until the beach. The private car can be left on a free parking area in the surroundings. These characteristics explain that the beach is one of the most popular areas for the people coming from the residential and touristic villages nearby.

When the beach has a lifeguard service, you must follow the lifeguards? instructions and the warnings on flags. A red flag indicates dangerous swimming conditions and means that swimming is not permitted. A yellow flag indicates that precaution must be taken, but that swimming is permitted. A green flag indicates that swimming is permitted. An orange flag is used to indicate that the lifeguard is absent. Act cautiously when no lifeguard is present or the service is not available and enjoy the beach without taking any unnecessary risks.
