Les Tinyes
Boat cove dive in the Cerbère-Banyuls reserve
Three rock heads form a cove with coralligenous edges, common banks of sars and dorades, and boat logistics from the reserve.
About Les Tinyes
Les Tinyes is a boat-accessed rocky-cove dive in the Cerbère-Banyuls Marine Reserve. Three rock heads break the surface and create a compact site with coralligenous slopes, fish-filled ledges, and an easy photo-friendly shape. Plan it for calm weather and reserve-style logistics rather than a shore entry, with a short boat run from the local base.
