Good riff to snorkel, but we’ve been told that you can see turtles but unfortunately we haven’t. However nice corals and shiny fishes. But no shadow to lie under.

Better to just hang out on the beach, you can't see a lot fish if you go snorkeling. You also have that giant rock you can jump from, but be careful as it's very high

Absolutely beautiful beach!! The walk down isn't so pleasant in the heat, but it's worth it! 🤩

Perfect beach for snorkeling. Come early in the morning around 7:30, calm sea, no people... in my opinion the most beautiful beach on the island due to the coral reef.
