About this site
Marinha Beach lies on the Algarve coast of southern Portugal, near Lagoa, an area known for its limestone cliffs and rock formations along the Atlantic shoreline. Diving here reaches a maximum depth of around 4 metres and is considered suitable for beginners. Divers have also reported sightings of clownfish, leopard or zebra sharks, manta rays, Napoleon wrasse, and wobbegongs at the site, though these are unusual for Atlantic waters and worth treating as isolated observations rather than the norm.
