About Racó
Racó is a sheltered shore cove at the foot of Peñón de Ifach, with a shallow route over posidonia, rocks, and a small wreck stop. The dive stays easy to read from the beach and works well for beginners, refreshers, and relaxed snorkel-and-dive days. Sheltered water keeps the site low-stress, but the harbor edge and the shallow profile reward slow, controlled buoyancy. Expect grouper, conger eel, barracuda, sea bream, octopus, and other small life in the cracks and weed edge.
