Cala Fría
Cala Fría lies just under the Cabo de Palos lighthouse; its open side borders the Islas Hormigas reserve, so fish from the reserve shelter among its rocks, grooves and holes. Scuba Murcia lists it as a shore dive to about 12 m with clear water, rock formations to swim through and octopus and stingrays; the tourism brochure gives 2–18 m.
