About Les Terrasses 2
Les Terrasses 2 is a harbor-front artificial reef off Port Barcarès, reached by a short boat run and often chosen when more exposed sites are less practical. Rock piles and concrete modules break up the sandy bottom, creating sheltered structure that suits training dives and draws a steady mix of Mediterranean fish and invertebrates. Expect boat traffic near the port and some surface chop when the wind picks up.
