Even if you're not up to scuba diving there's a wealth of sea life to be seen in the few metres from any beach just snorkelling around the rocks making up the shore line. Shoals of silver fish shimmering in the sunlight to the more colourful fish you'd expect of the warmer waters of the Mediterranean, if you're really lucky you'll see octopus and cuttle fish although you'll need to be observant as they quickly disappear in to a crevice once they spot you.
