Port’alga parete sinistra
Stepped rocky wall with simple shore access and macro life.
A rocky wall off Port'Alga drops in steps from an easy shore entry, with clear water, macro life, and a deeper section that still needs respect.
About Port’alga parete sinistra
Port'alga parete sinistra is a stepped rocky wall off the Port'Alga cove in Polignano a Mare. The shoreline entry is simple, but the profile drops away quickly enough that divers need to respect the depth as the wall falls in stages. The site is known for macro life, with nudibranchs, flabellinas, sponges, and tube-dwelling worms, while passing jacks and bream may appear over the rocks. It is a good fit for divers who want an easy navigation with a profile that still rewards careful depth control.
