    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Punta Estrella offers a straightforward dive for those exploring Cabo de Palos. Expect to find rocky reefs and scattered seagrass beds, typical of the Mediterranean. It's a good spot for spotting octopuses tucked into crevices or smaller reef fish moving through the rocks. We'd suggest it for divers looking for a relaxed, easy dive rather than dramatic topography.
