Cala Morell has a small sandy area about 50 meters long, and lots of small bathing areas with platforms where you can leave the towel and other things.
Cala Morell is one of the best coves for diving or snorkeling. On the sides there are rocky bottoms with lots of marine wildlife, and there is also a sandyer area that increases the variety of fish you can see.

The good thing about Cala Morell is that it offers many leisure possibilities as it is an urban beach but very close to the limit of the Marine Reserve of Menorca.
- You can dive with bottles, snorkel, swim the bay. The waters of Cala Morell are very well protected,so unless the wind blows strongly from North or West, the beach is quite calm
- Being in an urban area, there are restaurants and you can eat with sea views in the Baristiu or Trogloditas.
- And if you want a little sport or movement, you can walk through the urbanization or the Camí de Cavalls. If you leave the beach and go along the Camí de Cavalls to the east (looking at the sea, on the right), you will see spectacular houses with very good views over the cliffs.
