Scuba diving at Marina del Este (Los Corales / La Pared) in Costa del Sol

Marina del Este (Los Corales / La Pared)

Costa del SolBoat
About This Site
The most-dived and most accessible site on Granada's Costa Tropical, reached in just a few minutes by boat from the Marina del Este harbour at Punta de la Mona. A cliff wall (La Pared) studded with large boulders, crevices, small caves and swim-throughs drops over a sand-and-rock bottom, with a shallow orange-coral terrace at 5-20 m for beginners and a deeper coral garden continuing toward 25 m and beyond for trained divers. The Berengueles cove and surrounding cliffs and seabed were declared a marine Natural Reserve (ZEC Acantilados y Fondos Marinos de la Punta de la Mona) in January 2025. The mix of easy shallow zones, dramatic wall structure and exceptional biodiversity makes it the anchor dive of almost every local centre's programme.

Set on the eastern (Levante) flank of the Punta de la Mona headland just outside the sheltered Marina del Este cove, the site faces roughly south with its open window swinging through the E-SE sector toward the Alboran Sea. The microtidal Mediterranean here is wind-wave driven, so the real exposure is to easterly Levante fetch wrapping onto the wall from the E through SE; due-south and SSE swell still reaches the seaward face, but the southern tip of the headland begins to screen anything from the SSW. The headland mass sits to the west and SW, throwing a deep shadow over westerly Poniente winds and blocking the whole W-NW-N sector, though the exposed point funnels current that can run strong and shift quickly.
