La Herradura

★★★★☆ (615)

There are two buoys of the marine reserve on the plateau of Herradura. This buoy is located on the limit between zone C and B of the marine reserve, there is no diving allowed in zone A. On the plateau are lots of canyons. This place tends to be exposed to currents, then it’s not suitable for beginners.

That’s the kinder garden of the marine reserve. In springtime it’s full of fish-babies, later the year with the grown-ups.
