Punta de los Molinos is a shore dive located on the north-western tip of La Palma, featuring a combination of reef, wall, and open-water drift topography. Divers can expect depths between 10 and 24 metres with visibility ranging from 20 to 30 metres. The site is defined by strong currents, requiring intermediate skill levels and solid buoyancy control. Entry is made directly from the shore through a surf break, which necessitates careful timing and assessment of wave conditions. Due to the variable nature of the currents and surf, divers should check local conditions before planning their dive.
