Located in front of Fenals beach, Barra begins at a depth of approximately twenty-two meters. We anchor to the north, in the shallowest section, before embarking on our dive towards the south, offshore. During the dive, we rely on three rocks in the center as our primary visual reference, necessitating sharp orientation skills or the guidance of a dive leader. The slope gradually descends to thirty meters, where the vast sandy bottom marks the endpoint before making our way back to the anchor point. Barra de Fenals bears a striking resemblance to Bullents in appearance, and it shares a similar consideration for surface exit. Due to the significant boat traffic in the area connecting the different beaches, it is essential to utilize a mandatory signaling buoy.
Please note that the visibility in this region is approximately 15 meters, making it an ideal spot for dive enthusiasts with advanced diving experience. This captivating dive site can be found within the stunning surroundings of Camí de Ronda, Lloret de Mar, Selva, Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
