This place gathers an important number of sea and earth species, you will have access to a submarine path during the summer in the Palud beach.
No anchorage possible, you will have just a little pontoon to greet small boats. This place is accessible on foot at 45 minutes from the village. If you like snorkelling you will swim among the fish, observe a huge number of marine species and submerge in a crystal water to the Rascas rock.
