Cala Palmera
★★★★☆
(6,803)
Direct shore access via a gentle sandy slope. Calm waters with an initial Posidonia meadow leading to a sandy bottom at 7-8 m covered by extensive Cymodocea nodosa seagrass. Ideal for introductory dives, courses and night dives in a serene, current-free environment.
Small fish among Posidonia leaves, the occasional octopus on the sandy bottom and sponges under rocky overhangs. At dusk, cuttlefish and squid animate the seabed hunting for prey.
