About La Pastelería
La Pastelería is a boat-access reef site off Rincón del Mar in the San Onofre coast, known for coral that looks lightly dusted and for grouped reef patches that reward steady buoyancy. It suits confident scuba divers who want a deeper reef profile, regular Caribbean fish life, and a calmer pace of diving rather than an easy shallow entry.
