La Pilona is an artificial platform located 450 metres offshore from Malgrat de Mar. Originally constructed for loading iron ore, the site now functions as an artificial reef. The underwater topography features a collection of concrete blocks and iron remains from the former structure. Snorkellers can explore these submerged remnants, which provide a complex habitat for marine life. Access to the site is possible by both shore and boat. Due to its offshore location and the nature of the structure, this site is best suited for intermediate snorkellers. Water temperatures in the area fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 13C in February to 26C in August.
