You arrive at the meeting point on Ctra Arenal just as the morning light flattens the bay; the shuttle hums for 15 minutes and drops you at a low rocky cove where the guide checks masks and points to a calm cut in the reef. The water is clear enough to read the contours of the seabed; Posidonia meadows ripple like a green field below the surface and small damsel fish dart through broken rock.

History

Mallorca’s coasts were long used by small-scale fishers; recent protections aim to restore seagrass and nursery habitats important for regional fisheries.

Conservation

Respect marked zones, avoid touching seagrass or corals, and use reef-safe products; guided tours minimize impact and promote local stewardship.

Use Reef-Safe SunscreenApply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before you enter the water to protect marine habitats and prevent reapplication while snorkeling.
