About Cala del Faro
Cala del Faro is a quiet beach cove in Mazarrón with a sheltered entry, a shallow outer area and a passage into an inner section. It is a good fit for first dives and easy snorkel sessions because the bottom is mostly sand and posidonia, the profile stays shallow, and the site is comfortable when the sea is calm and easy to read for first-time divers.
