The beach itself may not be the most pleasant, with its abundance of rocks and stones. Yet, snorkeling here is a 5-star experience. My daughter and I usually bring a bag of bread to attract the fish and they are so eager that they make holes in the bag trying to get to the food. It was like being in an aquarium due to the sheer number of fish. I wish more people could experience this. Just be mindful of the sharp rocks beneath your feet and wear water shoes. Additionally, keep an eye out for jellyfish; my daughter was stung on her upper leg, necessitating a trip to the pharmacy for antihistamine cream.

Playa de la Calafria may be nice, but it's not much more than a dive spot. There are plenty of fish, a sunken wreck, and an octopus, but that's about it. The views are nothing special either. All in all, it's an okay place to dive, but not much else.

The perfect spot for a calming getaway. The water is crystal clear and serene, and there are plenty of interesting sights to explore, from caves to fish, rocks and crabs. It's a great place to relax and soak up the sun.

This secluded beach is the perfect spot for snorkeling - the water is so clear you can almost see to the bottom! It's an ideal spot for those looking for a more secluded experience, away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger beaches.
