This dive site is Cala Macarelleta, a picturesque creek located on the southwestern coast of Menorca. Underwater navigation primarily involves exploring the rocky seabed found beneath the cliffs, which is rich with various marine growths. Its shallow nature makes it a comfortable and accessible spot for relaxed aquatic activities.
Visitors to this site can anticipate encountering diverse marine life. The rocky substrate is notably adorned with numerous sponges and polyps, serving as habitats for several species. Common fish observations include seabream, wrasse, and salema, offering a representative glimpse into the Mediterranean's vibrant coastal ecosystem.
The best time to experience Cala Macarelleta for diving and snorkeling is typically during the warmer months, from late spring through early autumn, when water temperatures are most inviting and sea conditions are generally calm. This site is particularly well-suited for beginners and snorkelers, given its very shallow average depth of approximately 2 meters and a maximum depth of just 5 meters.
