Description
 
It is a rock formation with different profiles and levels of depth, surrounded by a sandy bottom in the West except that the bottom face is guijaros and small stones with fronds of kelp. The North face is the shallowest 16 meters (rock interface - sand) and its southern side is where most depth is reached 24 meters. Heading west there are a couple of shipwrecks, the remains of a support vessel for fishing fence and two cars that were placed there to prevent trawling in nearby Punta Mona. Perpendicular to the south of the stone there are two other cars one 27 meters and a second deeper than was swept away by the nets of a boat. The stone has almost square with numerous cracks and crevices, being practically flat on its surface except in the Northeast part of the stone that forms a pinnacle and is the shallowest 12 meters area. Also near it are two sunken cars.
 
Fauna and Flora
 
For the peculiarity of its topography it is an ideal place to find conger and moray eels. We also highlight the many prawns as Lysmata seticaudata and Gnathophyllun elegans. Numerous false bryozoans like coral and echinoderms such as red stars, common hedgehog, comátulas in many of its crevices, brittle stars and sea cucumbers. Nudibranchs deserve special mention for their diversity and quantity, include: Flabellina affinis, Platydoris argo, and H. Pictish Hypselodoris villafranca, Chromodoris purpurea and doriopsilla areolata. The rocky substrate is completely covered with calcareous algae. West stand on her face brown algae and seaweed Halopteris scoparia and A. armata rojaAsparagopsis taxifolia. In the remains of wrecks big crabs and small groupers are observed.
