Fernandez Bay (San Salvador)
24° 2.2′ N · 74° 31.6′ W · approximate
A bay on the lee coast with a rocky shore, reef urchins and patch reefs on a gently sloping sand bottom - good snorkelling a short ride from Riding Rock.
Practical
Wikipedia: the shore is rocky with reef urchins, then patch reefs on sand as the bottom slopes to about 25 m at the shelf edge 400-1,500 m out. Grouper Gully dive site lies off it. Point placed south of Cockburn Town (approx; exact bay limits not published in sources opened). Not the Fernandez Bay on Cat Island.
