Ibiza shore dive with clear water and rocky access.
Punta Galera is a shore-access Ibiza point dive with clear water, a rocky profile, and enough depth variety to suit both relaxed snorkeling and longer scuba routes. The site is known for exceptional visibility, fish life around the rocks, and an easy-to-recognize shoreline entry rather than a boat-dependent setup. It suits divers and snorkelers who are comfortable on uneven rocks and want a natural cove with strong scenery and a simple access pattern.
