5471-acre Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Balearic Islands. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 169 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada runs 5,472 acres with 18.3 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 13% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 6.1 mi with a 2.4-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Port D'Alcúdia, 5 mi southwest of here.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european seabass in 3 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 30 ft, wintering in 10 to 55 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 20 ft range, good in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
When the water first warms, gilthead seabream slide up into 3 to 35 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 45 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 100 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common dentex in 20 to 130 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 28 to 169 ft before dropping to 39 to 169 ft for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 64 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 130 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (64 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 28 to 169 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (64 ft) | see map |
| Fall | 20 to 150 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (64 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 39 to 169 ft | midday | Deepest basin (166 ft) | see map |
Early season red mullet use the shallows, holding in 5 to 55 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 30 to 140 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 166 ft that grades good for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: atlantic bonito sit in 15 to 100 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 90 ft covers summer, 38 to 169 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 166 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Start shallow in spring: bluefish sit in 3 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 4 ft of water that rates good for bluefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4 ft) | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |

| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | Sharp break (4 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |

MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada is about 169 ft (52 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 64 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
