Punta de la Azohía
Punta de la Azohía is an easy shore dive sheltered from easterly and westerly winds, often with good visibility. A small narrow cavern lies halfway down the wall. At night cuttlefish, scorpionfish (cabrachos), nudibranchs and large fireworms are seen, and a mako shark was once recorded exceptionally. Be careful with fishermen.
