Around 5km south of Port d'Alcúdia (on the bus line to Ca'n Picafort), Platja de Muro often makes the grade in lists of Mallorca's best beaches. While we are not entirely convinced about the better-than-the-Caribbean hype, it's certainly a beauty, with pale, soft sand backed by pines and the dunes of the Parc Natural de S'Albufera. The water is shallow and azure.
