Platja (Playa) de Muro - Mallorca Island Map 9.3

Platja de Muro, also known a few years ago as Las Gaviotas, is an excellent beach for parents with small children as the waters are very shallow. From the shore it is necessary to walk out a good distance before the depth becomes dangerous for children. In addition to the usual facilities such as beach umbrellas, pedal boats, surf and beach bar, there are also showers on the beach itself. This beach is a prolongation of the beaches at Port d'Alcúdia, with a similar structure and similar hotels.

The coast along the municipal area of Muro, five and a half kilometres long, is known under the generic name of Platja de Muro. This place name is only recent and takes in the developments of Las Gaviotas, sa Maquina Nova, ses Fotges, es Cibollar, sa Torre, es Pins, Muralcúdia.

The first constructions were built in the sixties - Las Gaviotas (1968) and ses Fotges (1969) - and were declared Centro de Interes Turístico Nacional by the Ministry of Information and Tourism of the time. The developments occupy the stretch of land between the beach and s'Albufera. The development of Las Gaviotas, with a lake in the middle, was built on a part of s'Albufera.

The growing number of hotels has given rise to an increased number of facilities. halfway between Port d' Alcúdia and Can Picafort, Platja de Muro forms part of the bay of Alcúdia. It is the largest beach on Majorca, stretching from Cap des Ferrutx, in Artà, to Alcanada. The road to sa Pobla marks the boundary between the municipal areas of Muro and Alcúdia.

There are many interesting excursions by car or on foot that can be taken from the developments of Platja de Muro. There are agencies which rent both bicycles and cars.
