Shore cove night dive with rocks, a small cave, and easy coastal access.
Shallow shoreline cove on the Platja d'Aro coast, reached on foot through the coastal path and set between sand and rock. It is a classic night dive for divers who want easy access, a calm rocky setting, and close-up life in the cracks and holes. Octopus, squid, cuttlefish, moray eels, sea bream, crabs, and shrimp are the main draw, with a small cave at the end that gives the site its character.
