Punta Castagna

★★★★☆ (146)

Peculiar seascape due to the volcanic nature of the rocks. Namely, pumex makes the sediment whitish and bright, definitely uncommon to see. A flat part of sand and rocks drops-off into sloping rocks that seem endless...

Huge red sea-whips (P. clavata) inhabit the sloping rocks from 35 m on, all surrounded in clouds of A. anthias. Possible barracudas and groupers (E. marginatus e M. rubra).
