Pedra do Cravo

★★★★★ (289)

Like snowflakes, here you will find sand and some peripheral slumps on the rock/dead coral. Small flakes of dead coral and broken coral, with lilac tones, cover the ground in large quantities.

With the reef in slabs, between recesses and reentrances, it is possible to observe lobsters, locust lobster, sea bream, and forkbeard.
