Alright folks, help me out with one more ?. It has been awhile since I have been snorkeling. What are the easiest places to snorkel on day 1 to remember what I am doing! Thanks EVERYONE!!!
Salt Pond Bay is usually calm and clear with a nice shallow reef on the left (east). Hawksnest and Trunk are both easy snorkles as well, but can get rough in the winter or following an east-coast storm. Trunk has lifeguards between 10 and 4. Despite the disdain of some of those who like quieter beaches, Trunk is the most beautiful beach with some of the best snorkeling on the island.
Another good choice would be Gibney, very sandy entry, and if you go to the right and around the rocks you will find interesting coral and lots of fish in not so deep water.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
