Get to know the place

The small bay below Nadur combines red sand, vegetation and rocky margins. The official guide identifies snorkelling as an option and describes the steep final descent on foot. Plan the climb back and have a local guide choose the surface area rather than rounding the headlands.

What to see

  • Reddish-orange sand
  • Rocky bay margins
  • Vegetated valley backdrop

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
