Debeli rtič
Debeli rtič is a broad cliff-lined headland west of Ankaran, near the Italian border, whose reef continues underwater as a shallow bank several hundred metres out to a lighthouse. Most life is found above about 8 m: rocks with sponges, corals and sea lettuce on the south and west sides, and tall seagrass on the north side, which is a stronghold of pen shells. History lies here too – the stone banks of a Roman fish farm at only 2 m off the campsite beach and an ancient breakwater on the western side. The west coast below the cliff is considered the most beautiful part.
depth: 0–10 m
