Advantages: Lots

Disadvantages: None

We go here several times a year as my parents have a house in the nearby town of Pollenca.

'The port' as it is sometimes known is very different from the old town and attracts a different clientele. Popular with young families, it is not as raucous as some of the coastal tourist haunts on the island.

The beaches here are not the best in the area and can be very busy in high season but are still very pleasant. Walk along the Pine Walk to often quieter areas with some lovely cafes along the seafront. It should be noted that although the sea often looks very calm and safe, there have been quite a few drownings over the years.

Stay is a lovely restaurant, situated by the harbour, it has excellent food, an impressive interior, and good service.

Things to try in Puerto Pollensa inclde scuba diving, available at Scuba Mallorca. The diving here is definitely worth a try, they offer courses for new divers and excursions for qualified divers. You can hire everything you need. In the past I have dived with Barracudas here. Another sport available is windsurfing. Although I have never been on it myself, I have heard that the glass bottomed boat is a fun thing to do.

The old town of Pollenca should be visited, there is a regular bus service from the port. Market day is sunday but can get very busy in high season.

Summary: Great place to visit
