Cow Rocks
17° 12.8′ N · 62° 37.3′ W
A cluster of rocks just breaking the surface in the Narrows north of Nevis - a navigational hazard that doubles as a lively snorkel spot for strong swimmers in calm weather.
Practical
ActiveCaptain: the rocks show only a few feet above water at most and are very hard to see at night. Snorkel only in calm conditions by dinghy or with a temporary anchor in the sand beside the rocks; it is always a bit agitated, current can be strong, and you should not go alone or fish. Wikipedia names the Cow and Calf Rocks off northwest Nevis.
