El Coral/Punta del Río
★★★★☆
(427)
We gradually descend along a lava tongue that borders a light sandy bottom on its eastern side. As we ascend along the western side, we can explore the nooks and crannies of the rock, especially in the shallower area.
Sandy area: garden eels, stingrays, and with some luck, an angelshark during the colder season. Ocean triggerfishes are frequently seen. There are also colonies of Palitoa coral.
