Turtle cove

The beach features an excellent reef that is clearly marked with buoys. Additionally, there are various splendid areas beyond the marked section. During our visit, we were fortunate enough to spot octopuses and turtles in this vibrant ecosystem, which boasts a diverse range of coral in different stages and formations. It is teeming with lively marine life, particularly fish. For the majority of the way, the beach has a rocky shoreline, making it challenging for most people to enter the water. The reef is situated approximately 300 yards east of the parking area. If the beach is crowded, it is advisable to venture into the water about 75 to 100 yards prior to reaching the marked area. The parking area itself is safe, but it is crucial not to leave any valuables in your car as there are no guards or attendants present. Additionally, between the parking area and the beach, there are numerous sand burrs, so it is recommended to wear flip-flops. If you find yourself entering the water from a rocky area, it is best to wear fins and back into the water. As soon as the water is deep enough, begin swimming. Walking on the rocky entry can be quite painful when barefoot. It is important to note that all beaches are public, allowing you to set up your beach spot in front of the villas near the tide line. To protect the reef, it is highly recommended to use reef-safe sunscreen. Lastly, remember to keep your fins raised high in order to avoid accidentally kicking the reef.

Finding this beach can be a bit tricky, but it's worth it. To get here, turn left onto Coconut Road and continue until it reaches a dead end. At the end of the road, there is a narrow gravel driveway that may appear to be private property, but it's not. Keep driving along the lane, and you'll eventually reach a parking lot. From there, you can easily access the beach. If you're planning to snorkel, once you reach the beach, head right and walk for about 1,000 to 1,500 feet. You'll know you've reached the reef when you see the orange buoys surrounding it. The snorkeling experience here is truly amazing. As soon as you enter the water, you'll be greeted by swarms of fish, even before reaching the reef. We were fortunate enough to spot 6 or 8 turtles, including a baby, surfacing just 2 feet away from us. It was an incredible sight. We also encountered a giant ray and a wide variety of beautiful fish. I could have easily spent the entire day out there. If you have any interest in snorkeling, you absolutely must visit this spot!

The beach boasts a stunning reef teeming with various fish and marine creatures. I highly suggest snorkeling near the beach edges and the rocks along the shoreline. Unfortunately, snorkel gear is not available for rent here. Accessible by car, reaching the beach is a breeze as you enter the residential area and find a smaller sandy road leading directly to the parking lot.

I had an amazing snorkeling experience at the beach! I was able to spot a wide variety of colorful fish, stunning coral, and turtles every single day. The highlight was encountering a magnificent pair of spotted rays in the crystal clear water. I managed to capture some wonderful videos and pictures with my GoPro, although I can't share them at the moment.

The snorkeling at Turtle Cove Marina is fantastic. You can reach it either by Coconut road or by taking a leisurely walk from the marina. There are plenty of small fish to observe in the different coral reefs, and you might even spot some turtles, rays, and barracudas. We were amazed by the sight of several large schools of bigger fish further out into the sea. It is important to wear water shoes or flippers as there are many sea urchins closer to the shore. The beach is easily walkable all the way to Grace Bay, but keep in mind that there is no shade available. Bringing an umbrella would be a wise choice if you plan on staying for a while.
