Did you by any chance snorkel the area you took a pic of in #31 (the right side of Ditleff - can't remember which bay it was), and if so, how was the snorkel?

When we were driving around our last day, we saw people snorkeling there this past summer and it's one of the places I want to try.

Thanks for all of the great pics!

Spent our last day (july 4th) between the Westin in the morning and Ditleff in the afternoon. We wanted to avoid downtown and the parade. The snorkeling off of Ditleff was great. You started through a bunch of sea grass and as you got closer to the end of the point, there was some really great snorkling.

Sadly, I believe this whole area is probably inaccessible as the gate at the entrance to the development was almost finished when we were there. My guess is it will become a gated community keeping us away from their exclusive beach. The pictures of the stairs is a private walkway down to the beach and the whole road is also lined with this masonary stone work, but i guess when you are spending a $1,000,00 an acre, you can afford these kind of luxuries. The only downside was very little beach area. My wife and daughters were not enthused to walk over rocks to get into the water, but once in, there really weren't any rocks.

If you go to www.ditleffpoint.com and click on about ditleff point you can read all about the developers plans, your $1M an acre is a bit low, on the map link, and how the "select few" , their words not mine!, can get in the gates! Some nice photos of the reef area too, or at least the way the reef was before the building and change of natural vegetation started.

Darn it!!! I wish we had found that spot when we were there earlier in our trip!

We saw the walkway when we drove past, and I was wondering if that was what those walkway pics were.

Oh well, maybe the gates will be broken when we get there.

I guess I would suggest anyone going any time soon, snorkel the area while you still can.

I guess another option would be to get to Rendevous Bay and snorkel over to that area.
