    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cala Rayo offers a straightforward dive, accessible from the shore. The site features a sandy bottom dotted with rocky outcrops, providing shelter for octopuses and some small schooling fish. It’s a good spot for new divers to practice buoyancy or for a relaxed second dive, though we’ve found visibility can be inconsistent here.
