About Pointe Malalongue
Pointe Malalongue is a Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat headland dive with drop-offs, plateaus, and caves that keep the route varied from start to finish. The point sits in classic Mediterranean terrain: Posidonia edges, gorgonian cover, and shelter pockets that attract groupers, sea bream, moray eels, octopus, and nudibranchs. It is the kind of site that rewards slow, careful exploring rather than rushing through a single line.
