About this site
El Muellito y la Playa ("The Little Pier and the Beach") is a dive site located in the Puerto del Carmen area of Lanzarote, in the hub of dive sites centred around Playa Chica. It is rated as an intermediate-level dive.
The site is noted as a particularly good area for spotting a wide variety of Atlantic marine life in a single dive. While it lacks the dramatic single feature found at some neighbouring sites, it offers a strong sense of abundance and variety that makes it well suited to divers focused on species spotting and observing marine life in a natural setting.
