Pedrinha
About Pedrinha
Pedrinha is a marine reserve off Santa Maria, reached by a short boat ride from the marina at Vila do Porto. A mooring buoy descends to about 8 m and leads to the main rock, with typical dive depths in the 15–25 m range. The site is known for abundant marine life around the rocks, including small openings where shrimp and a yellow moray eel can be seen. Groupers shelter in cracks, while barracuda and amberjack are often found in open water.
