Carreiro dos Cações
★★★★☆
(58)
Former spawning ground for benthic sharks. Unfortunately, today they are gone due to human action, but the name was kept and it still can offer a rich diving experience. With a sandy bottom, there is a more sheltered inner segment where it is possible to enjoy the diverse marine life inhabiting the walls of the strait.
Typical Caribbean fish species but beware of contact with scorpionfish and sea urchins.
