Fornells

Fornells is a small coastal town on the island of Menorca in the Balearic Islands. It serves as a gateway for local seabed diving along Menorca’s western coast and is known for proximity to sheltered coves and easier shore access. Nearby, the Balearic Sea hosts diverse marine life, with several local dive centers offering shore and boat trips, introductory courses, and guided dives. For freshwater options, the nearby La Albufera lake in the region provides a separate, non-coastal diving venue for training and practice away from open-water conditions. Overall, the area appeals to divers looking for a quiet, manageable base with options for coastal dives and access to the richer reefs around Menorca’s southern and western shores.
