Shallow shore dive in a sheltered Menorca cove.
Shallow shore dive in a sheltered Menorca cove.
A shallow shore dive in a sheltered urban cove, reached from the beach or from a rock platform on the left side of the inlet. The site is a good fit for newer divers and relaxed night dives, with an easy coastal entry, sandy approach, and rock features that hold frequent rays and mixed small fish. It works best as an unhurried cove session when the beach is quieter.
