La Cama de los Novios is a shallow shore route off Playa de La Higuerica, wrapping a small rocky islet through sand, Posidonia, and fish-rich rock ledges. It is best treated as a calm-day swim or snorkel with scuba-friendly access, where buoy control, a clean surface line, and steady spacing matter more than depth.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
2m+
Depth Note
The official snorkel route reaches about 2m at the islet, then wraps a small rocky island with a vertical open-sea face and a gentler shore-facing slope.
Typical Conditions
Shallow sandy-to-rocky shoreline with Posidonia, an exposed islet, calm-day dependence, and a visible open-water swim.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay within your limits, keep a buoy on the swim line, and abort if chop or current makes the islet approach messy.
Access Restrictions
Best handled only in calm sea conditions, with a surface buoy and enough swim confidence to stay outside the bathing zone.
Legal Notes
Respect the marked bathing area and local beach rules, and do not treat the route as a casual open-water shortcut.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow scuba works here, but the site still depends on a calm surface and clean line management because the approach swims outside the bathing zone.
Snorkeling
This is the clearest use case: calm-day snorkeling over sand, Posidonia, and rock around the islet, with the route reserved for confident swimmers.
