Playa La Herradura

★★★★☆ (454)

One of the essentials of the Marine Reserve !! Located right in front of “El Bajón“ and just two minutes away from La Restinga port. It is one of the dives that have more life and also does not touch much depth.

We especially highlight the Cerianthus, Meros, Island groupers, Scrawled filefish, different types of Muraenidae, parrot fish, Thunnus, spotted burrfish, lobsters ...
