Snorkeling site
The bay is part of the Natural Marine Protected Area of Portofino and is forbidden to navigation, which makes it particularly safe for swimmers. The area is famous for its posidonia meadows that together with the rocky seabed are home to a wide variety of fish, octopuses, starfish, nudibranchs, sponges, and molluscs.
