Dive-site story
Punta del Ferro is located along the rugged limestone coast of the Montgrí Natural Park near L'Escala. The underwater landscape features sheer cliffs plunging into broken rocky scree and sandy patches, offering swim-throughs, small cavities, and ledges colonized by Mediterranean encrusting sponges and bryozoans. Divers can explore varied topography while drifting along the point when coastal currents pick up.
