Local Intel For Santiago cove
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
More of a beach-cove stop than a true scuba site; the hotel offers diving services, but the main draw is the shoreline.
Freediving
Shallow calm-water play rather than depth-focused freediving.
Snorkeling
Good for casual shoreline snorkeling when the water is calm, though it is more of a beach stop than a reef destination.
