 The municipality is located on the western part of "peninsula of Artà" and is bordered in the west by the "Bay of Alcúdia" ("Badia d’Alcúdia"), and in the north by the Mediterranean sea where its coast lies opposite the neighbouring island of Menorca.The coast of Artà stretches for 25 kilometres and, so far, has escaped being developed.Particularly noteworthy are the beach and sand dune formations of "sa Canova d’Artà", the flat coastal strip near the settlement of Colònia de Sant Pere, the high rocky coves of the "Cap de Ferrutx" and a large number of smaller bays that extend from "s’Arenalet des Verger" to "Cala Torta".
