Dive-site story
Located directly below the historic Cabo de Palos lighthouse, Cala Fría is a sheltered cove renowned as one of the area's premier shore entries. Divers follow a gradual rocky slope interwoven with dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows and scattered boulders. Crevices throughout the shallows provide shelter for nocturnal hunters and macro critters, making this an especially popular location for training and calm night dives.
