About Baou Rouge
Baou Rouge is a shallow Mediterranean shore site with clear water, striking rock formations, and a mix of seagrass beds and sheltered coves. It is best on calm days for snorkeling or easy freediving, while rougher seas make the rocky entry and exit less forgiving. The site suits beginners who want a shallow natural shoreline rather than a deep dive.
