Sardina del Norte is a renowned beginner-friendly shore dive on the northwestern coast of Gran Canaria, reaching 15 meters depth. This picturesque fishing village site is considered one of the best shore dives in the Canary Islands, featuring a volcanic reef in a sheltered bay that teems with marine life. The site is famous for its large schools of trumpetfish, resident angel sharks on the sand, and frequent green sea turtle encounters. The rocky formations shelter moray eels, octopuses, and an extraordinary diversity of nudibranchs, while cuttlefish hover in the open water. Easy shore access, reliable conditions, and exceptional biodiversity make Sardina a must-dive destination in Gran Canaria.
