Baía da Armação

★★★★☆ (8,307)

Set in a small bay by the shore, this spot (translated into English: Armação Bay) is a favourite because of its existing biodiversity.it is possible to dive here all year round because it is protected by high cliffs.

We can observe Seahorses, Flounders, Congers, Octopus, Cuttlefish, Groupers, Wrasses... and sometimes if we are lucky we can also see Sunfish.
