La Herradura Playa Western side - Cabo de Palos

The western side of La Herradura Playa offers a relaxed entry right from the beach, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a laid-back afternoon dip. We’ve found the rocky patches here host smaller critters like blennies and gobies, along with octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, best enjoyed when you’re not chasing big pelagics but prefer a slower pace. Visibility can vary, but it’s generally decent enough to enjoy the local residents.
