La Granadella – Xàbia
Small, scenic cove from which you can dive directly from the shore. A rocky arch at about 3 m leads past large rocks that shelter octopus and slipper lobster; over the posidonia seagrass you may see needlefish and squid, and on the way back, grottos in the wall can hold conger eels. The Generalitat page gives no maximum depth. Position is the map pin on that page moved to the water, approximate.
