About S'Aigua blanca
S’Aigua blanca, also known as the Island of the Seagulls, is a very shallow shore shoal off Portinatx beach with a surface-skimming profile that feels more like an underwater sandbar than a deep dive. It is best for beginner-friendly snorkelling and easy scuba sessions, especially for photographers looking for pearly razorfish, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, and other small marine life. Plan it as a calm-water, shore-access site with limited services rather than a big-reef outing.
