Cala El Racó
A cove with a seabed where, once you put on your goggles, you're already part of the experience.
At the foot of the Peñón and very close to the port, Cala El Racó is one of those spots you'll keep in memory. It is small, made of white stone, with clear waters and an underwater trail designed for snorkelling or light diving, marked with buoys, panels, and signs that explain what you see: fish, algae, coral, and posidonia. All without having to guess what is what. A mini underwater museum in its natural setting.
Access is easy; you can arrive from Paseo Ecológico Príncipe de Asturias or directly from the fishing port. It is right below the Peñón, and the surroundings are as picturesque as they are peaceful. There is no sand, only white pebbles that, depending on how the sun hits them, make the water look even more turquoise.
And if you want to know more, right next to it is the old building of the fish market, which now houses IMEDMAR, the Marine Environment Institute. There, you can better understand how this coastal ecosystem, which seems so simple, actually works.
