These days are hot!! But then there is our Bay with its really cool water – and frankly, easy access to some of the best snorkelling this side of Tobago. There are some unique advantages to beating the heat on – yeh, our bay.

Parking is easy and safe. As luck would have it Shirvan Road is pretty wide at this point and the verge provides a nice place to leave your vehicle. You’d want to park, come to the shop and get your snorkelling gear. If you choose to use the public transport system there is a bus stop just a few metres from our roadside door.

Itinerant taxis (as in private cars) are also easy to find. And do provide a relatively handy mode of exiting the beach. Point to note if/when using the ‘P’ car service – insurance coverage for the passenger is non-existent. Just saying.

Logistics sorted and gear gotten from our large selection of quality masks, fins and snorkels, get to the water. Allowing you’re comfy using snorkelling equipment, head off to the right. It’s a mere 50 metres to some pretty good structure. There’s a thriving community of reef fish such as the french angel, grunt, wrasse and trigerfish. There are also bands of squid, herring (anchovies), small jacks and the odd barracuda (supervising).

Interestingly, snorkelling ‘our’ bay also brings you into contact with our coastal birdlife. If you’re there on a day when there’s herring in the water, keep an eye out for the anhinga. ‘Snake bird’ hunts under the surface of ‘our’ waters and make just make your day. If you’re even luckier there our resident pair of sea hawk (osprey) out for a daily meal – or more. Then again if by some quirk of nature yoo see nothing, the day is already won. You’re no longer hot.
