Water Sports

Many visitors find that kayaks are an easy way to maneuver around the coral and get to the best offshore spots for snorkeling. You'll find several varieties of sea turtles, huge lobsters and an influx of grouper mixed with the clouds of colorful reef fish. Snorkeling is good right off the beach at most of the resorts and also in a shallow lagoon at Fountain Bay Beach, where you can snorkel in reefs close to shore.
