About Les Balelles
Les Balelles is a boat-access twin-islet dive off Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with rocky walls, sandy pockets, and seagrass meadows that make the site easy to read. The route is compact and beginner-friendly, but the rocky relief still gives you cracks, ledges, and a few different layers to explore. Octopus, moray eels, nudibranchs, and plenty of fish life are part of the appeal, especially when the water is clear and the light catches the white sand.
