    The Beach is a straightforward shore dive, good for getting back in the water or for newer divers. You'll find a gentle slope down to 17m, mainly sandy patches with some rocky areas providing cover. Expect to see smaller Mediterranean reef fish, maybe a curious octopus if you’re patient. It’s a relaxed site, ideal for buoyancy practice or an easy afternoon splash.
