Corralón: shallow Cabo Tiñoso cove for easy reserve diving.
Corralón is a boat-access dive inside the Cabo Tiñoso marine reserve, with a shallow cove entry that makes it a strong beginner option. The site starts around a protected mooring over sand, posidonia, and scattered boulders, then falls away toward a rocky wall where clearer water and more marine life come into view. It is the kind of reserve dive that rewards a relaxed pace, good buoyancy, and a short boat transfer from La Azohía.
