Snorkeling at North Bay Island
Start your day with a short boat ride to North Bay Island, known for its vibrant coral reefs and clear waters. Even if you’re not a swimmer, the shallow reefs near the shore offer an easy way to spot colorful fish and marine life. The island’s laid-back vibe makes it perfect for a relaxed morning.
