The 5 best coves in Spain for snorkeling

For those who do not know snorkelor "snorkeling", it is one of the favorite and most practiced activities during the summer. It only consists of swimming along the surface of the sea leaning on your fins with your head in the water and observing the multicolored life that goes on beneath the surface. How many people have you seen doing that on the beach near the shore? I'm sure a lot.



Before entering the best beaches and coves to practice it, we recommend that you contact thedifferent companies specialized in diving and snorkeling, since they will advise you and tell you which is the best area and the best time to do it.

1. Cala Macarella (Menorca)

A true paradise for lovers of this discipline. Due to its indisputable beauty, but also because of the cleanliness and transparency of its waters, it becomes one of the best beaches in Spain for snorkeling.



The most beautiful thing is to do it at the ends of the beach in the rocky area since perfect spaces open up to immerse ourselves in this authentic paradise.

2. Cala en Brut (Menorca)

Without leaving the island we moved to the west to Cala en Brut. It is not a "cove" as such, but rather a steep cove of flat rock where people lie down to sunbathe. The attraction, apart from the original nature of the environment, is the water that bathes it and its sheltered location.



A perfect place for snorkeling, with a lot of underwater life. Watch the video:


There are also many other areas suitable for snorkeling on the island of Menorca, such as Cala Tomarells, Cala Viola de Ponent or Sa Mesquida. Each one with its different but equally attractive characteristics. That's why we recommend that you take a look at the offers we have for snorkeling in Menorca.

3. Calas in Cabo de Palos (Murcia)

La Manga del Mar Menor has always had a reputation as one of the best areas in the country to practice it and it is no wonder. Specifically in the southernmost part of the Mar Menor we find Cabo de Palos and its countless coves for snorkeling.
