Cova Blava
Cova Blava is a boat-only sea cave stop in Cabrera with blue light effects.
Plan a boat visit in calm seas, ideally when the afternoon light is strongest; the appeal is the cave glow, not a hard dive profile.
About Cova Blava
Cova Blava is a boat-only sea-cave stop in Cabrera that is best known for its blue light effect, calm-water access, and short guided visits inside a protected marine park. It is more about the chamber, the rock forms, and the changing sunlight than about chasing depth, so the best days are the ones with steady sea state and good afternoon light. Divers and snorkelers should treat it as a controlled cave visit rather than a big current or deep-reef day.
