Where can I find excellent seafood restaurants near the beach on Mallorca?

It’s a common assumption that the best seafood on the island is found only in the busiest tourist spots, but some of the most memorable meals come from quieter, authentic beachside towns. For a relaxed and truly local experience, head to Cala Figuera on the southeast coast. This fishing village has charming harborside restaurants where freshly caught fish and shellfish arrive daily. Dining al fresco with views of the Mediterranean, you might enjoy dishes like lobster stew or grilled dorada paired with a cold glass of Binissalem wine.

Near Palma, the area around Portixol is another excellent choice for seafood. Here you can sample traditional Mallorcan plates such as pa amb oli topped with sobrassada alongside fresh seafood tapas. For a special treat, restaurants along the Ma-19 offer stunning sea views and serve delicacies from the nearby waters, like clams from the bay or white prawns from Formentor.

Further north, the town of Alcudia combines beach access and outstanding seafood. The old town’s small eateries often feature catch-of-the-day specialties that celebrate the island’s maritime heritage. Wherever you settle, pairing your meal with a sip of local Hierbas or Palo sweet liqueurs provides a quintessentially Mallorcan finish to a leisurely beachside dinner.
