About Tiritaña
Tiritaña is a shore dive in a small Gran Canaria cove with volcanic rocks, white sand, and a simple coastline profile. It is a good place to slow down for small marine life, with cleaning shrimp, anemones, damselfish, and occasional rays around the rocks. Access is the main planning factor: the beach sits below the road on a steep walk-in, so it is best on calm days when entry and exit are straightforward. Snorkelers also do well on the rocky edges when the sea is settled.
