As its name indicates, this cove hides a picturesque cavity in the rock that has been the source of legends. One of them says that the Llop Marí (sea wolf) hides here, a mythological animal that was supposed to attack the pirates who were hiding in the cave.

In summer, the cove and its cave are so attractive and popular that it is necessary to reserve access.

Near Torn beach is the mysterious Llop Marí cave. It is a cavity dug by the sea in the bowels of the mountain where we can discover the legend of the Sea Wolf. This is a fantastic animal created by the god Neptune, which attacked the pirates who approached the coast of l'Hospitalet de l'Infant and which, according to them, took refuge in this cave. It seems that it disappeared years ago, although some fishermen claim to have seen it recently...

Once in the cave you can enjoy a large and surprising space. At the back of this room there is a small beach that varies in size depending on the state of the sea. In this paradisiacal environment, there is a zig-zag side gallery of approximately 18 meters in length, with a width of four meters and an altitude of almost two meters that decreases as you move forward. A chimney starts the gallery and a column divides it at a point in the middle. Here you can observe some interesting processes of lithogenesis.

IMPORTANT ‼️
