Boat-accessed Montgrí reef with gorgonian wall.
Punta Salines is a boat-accessed rocky reef on the Montgrí coast near L'Estartit, inside the Medes Islands reserve zone. The site combines a sloping rocky bottom, a red gorgonian wall, and a broad blue-water edge, so it works as a scenic turn-point dive with enough structure to stay interesting without becoming technical. Plan for a short boat ride from the port, steady buoyancy along the wall, and a site that can be done year-round when seas are settled.
