Description of the site of natural interest
This site can be explored by snorkelling, but you must dive to see the cave. Many species are attached to the ceiling of the cave such as red coral, Neptune’s lace and the orange encrusting sponge. The floor is scattered with cerianthus. Be careful not to hit the ceiling so as not to damage the coral.
