About Zeneta
Zeneta is a sheltered cove beside the Cabo de Palos port, with barrier blocks, rock-and-sand patches, and Posidonia meadows that keep the site easy to read from shore. It suits relaxed snorkel sessions and low-key macro hunting, with the best life along the seagrass and rubble edges. On settled days it is a simple, low-commitment stop; when easterly winds roughen the wider coast, the cove usually remains the calmer fallback.
