Begin by descending along Carrer Gavilà until reaching the parking area located on the left side of the beach. Access to the water can be through the sandy beach or the staircase next to the rocks of the breakwater.
Easy access and abundant biodiversity welcome the exploration of this cove’s seabed along with young adventurers that are willing to discover its hidden treasures.
Head to the left to start an approximately 35-minute-long crossing, parallel to the breakwater, in order to gain some depth. Enormous rocks arranged whimsically create corridors and countless holes where timid creatures like octopuses and saddled breams hide.
At the highest part of these rocks, the depth is only about two metres, while the base rests at about eight metres. After circling this mountainous landscape, reverse the direction and return to the coast through the seagrass meadow. The rocks covered with reddish-brown algae and peacock's tail seaweed (Padina pavonia) indicate the good health of the waters.
Among the seagrass, gray mullets hide and saddled breams patrol in search of needlefish and other small species. It is common to spot starfish and sea urchins among the rocks and seagrass. (1)
