It is nice beach, with easy beach access in the Grace bay. My kids spend hours enjoying snorkeling and it is close to the shore.

It was nice when you swam out a little deeper.I would not suggest this activity for kids.The fish are not very friendly ,but it was entertaining and beautiful.

We swam to the reef from our resort and honestly saw more exciting things on the way over there (nurse shark and stingray) than at the reef. The reef is set up in a circle and is buoyed off so you have to swim around it -- you CANNOT enter the middle of the reef. This makes it a little hard to see things...but they do a good job of having informational plaques on the ocean floor to read and get a better idea of what you're looking at. If you really want good snorkeling I'd recommend going on a tour.

The water was a bit rough, clarity not so good. There is a roped off area keeping you to the outside area. There is beach access nearby, off Lower Bight Road (look for the sign at Penn's Road), but go on a calm water day.

Nice to know these coral reefs are protected and recovering. Snorkeling was good. Go early. Lots of snorkellers in the afternoon.
