Can Picafort is a tourist area in the north of Mallorca. It is known as a particularly family-friendly zone, since there are many beaches with calm and clean waters. In Can Picafort you can also practice sports such as cycling or hiking, since the natural park called Son Real is located here. A few kilometers from Can Picafort (7 km to be exact) we find the famous nature reserve Albufera Park.

What sights can you do in Can Picafort
In Can Picafort you can do a lot of sightseeing. Here we tell the main attractions in Can Picafort:
1. Can Picafort beach promenade
Along the long beach of Can Picafort we can enjoy the pedestrian zone full of life and colors. In this pedestrian zone we can find different types of bars and restaurants and small stores. The pedestrian zone has a length of about 2 kilometers.
In the second line or along the main street we can find different clothing stores of all brands and restaurants, which are pedestrianized like the seafront and have a length of about 1 kilometer.
2. Can Picafort port
Continuing and leaving behind the seafront, we find the port of Can Picafort. It is a typical marina of the coastal areas of Mallorca. If we want to make excursions by boat through the different coves of the north of the island and take a dip in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, from the port of Can Picafort there are excursions to coves and caves. We highly recommend one of these tours, but don’t worry, we’ll explain a little more about them later in this post. Diving and jet ski excursions are also available.
3. Son Real Nature Reserve
The zone of Son Real begins just after the beach of Son Baulo. The natural park extends from Can Picafort to the town of Son Serra de Marina. In it we find numerous small coves where we can refresh ourselves along the way. These coves that we found in the park are ideal to be quiet and away from tourism. Walking through the park or lying in the sun by the sea, you get an idea of how Mallorca was 70 years ago, when there was only nature on the coasts of Mallorca. In the middle of the park by the sea we find the necropolis of Son Real. The necropolis is an archaeological site from the Phoenician period. This is where the Phoenicians came to bury their dead. In front of the tombs of the Phoenicians we find the island of Porros. The island of Porros is a small island. If you want to visit, you will have to swim a little bit because there is no road. But don’t worry because the island is very close to the coast and the kids will love it.
If you want to know more about how life was in Mallorca in the past, you can visit the farm there in the park, Son Real. The farm of Son Real is a museum that shows how life was more than 100 years ago in Son Real or in the countryside. You can learn how the work in the fields worked, how the farmers took care of the livestock … In short, how life was in Mallorca. The entrance is free.
