Benissa
A circular route lasting 25 minutes, with a depth of around three to four metres, featuring rocky areas with abundant seagrass meadows, scorpion-fish and groupers searching for needles and other small species. Sandy areas alternate with some rocky areas where castanets, saddled bream, and damselfish display their frenetic activity.
The route starts at the steps located in front of the Nautical Club’s restaurant. From there, with an easy swim, one can explore the rock barrier and immediately spot a clean and bustling seagrass bed, which is a true marine lung, with high-quality waters.
Before reaching the tip of the Breakwater (L’Escullera) and turning back, traverse the bottom that contains whimsical and polished rock formations that contribute to an extraordinary brightness. In addition to the mentioned fish species, with a bit of luck one might spot an octopus camouflaged among the rocks. (1)
