Possibly the island’s best shore dive, the beach is also a great place to lounge in the sun. Enter the sea from the beach and swim towards the dropoff. As you proceed, you will encounter grassy beds inhabited by bandtail puffers, young nassau groupers, sand tilefish, razorfish, batfish, flying gurnards, and uncommonly seen juveniles of many reef species. Head instead towards the abandoned pier and you will find barracuda, cottonwicks, juvenile blackfin snappers, and a variety of small creatures sheltered by the large pilings.
