Take a trip around the towering headland, and you'll find a third beach waiting to welcome you to a world of tranquillity.
Shopping
All of the basics and souvenirs can be found in Cala San Vicente, but if shopping is an essential part of your holiday, take time out to visit the old town of Pollensa. Here you will find an extensive range of shops selling traditional pottery and contemporary ceramics.
Nightlife
Evenings are spent enjoying a meal at one of the local restaurants, or a quiet drink overlooking the bay. Nightlife here is very low key, but if you are seeking a lively night on the town, Alcudia is only a short journey away.
