Historical Setting & Nearby Attractions

Situated just a short distance from Alcudia, Platja des Morer Vermell offers visitors easy access to the town’s historic walled enclosure (14th century) and the well-preserved Roman theatre (1st century), which once held around 2,000 spectators. Its close proximity to these historical landmarks adds cultural interest to a visit to the beach.

Beach Composition & Scenery

The beach features white, fine-grained sand and crystal-clear waters, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for swimming and sunbathing. While parts of the surrounding area have been developed with hotels and residential buildings, the beach remains pleasantly unspoilt, especially on its right-hand side, where visitors can enjoy a more natural setting with rocky areas, pine woods, and untouched coastal landscape.

Boating & Anchoring

The gentle slope of the seabed allows for small boats to anchor close to the shore, with an access channel available for boat entry. Other navigators will find a seabed of rock and sand, with depths reaching around 2 metres at 200 metres from shore. The nearest marina facilities are at Port des Barcarets, located just 0.4 nautical miles away.

Access & Popularity

Access is straightforward by following road signs to the village of Es Morer Vermell. From there, a local track leads to a free parking area close to the beach. Despite its beauty and accessibility, Platja des Morer Vermell remains moderately visited, providing a peaceful atmosphere that appeals to both locals and tourists seeking a quieter beach experience.
