Dive-site story
Located just off the coast of Aguadulce, this protected natural monument features one of the few remaining barrier reefs formed by Posidonia oceanica meadows along the Andalusian coastline. The dense seagrass beds create an intricate underwater habitat that serves as a vital nursery for juvenile Mediterranean fish. Divers navigate gentle sandy channels flanked by elevated mat-forming seagrass structures, making it an easy, daylight-rich coastal excursion.
