Porto Novo in Salga Bay is a shell-shaped beach surrounded by lava rocks. Shipwrecks and other treasures are said to lie just off the coast here. The remains of swift caravels and other ships engaged in the African trade, large galleons from Peru and the Orient and war-like frigates with bright bronze cannon. These ships have transformed the coast into an underwater museum, a glimpse into the past accessible only by divers. The beach is not supervised, but is very pretty and worth visiting.
