Lime Kiln Snorkel

Clear water over rocky volcanic reef off the little almond-shaded beach at Lime Kiln Bay, where snorkellers regularly meet sea turtles.
Practical
Position approximate, a short swim off the OpenStreetMap-mapped beach. The Tourism Authority describes Lime Kiln as good for shore dives and sea turtle watching; the same rocky reef the divers use (see Lime Kiln Reef Dive) is reachable from the surface in the shallows. Access through the picnic area under the almond trees at the end of Lime Kiln Beach Road below Salem; toilets and showers 7:00am to 6:00pm. No lifeguards. Turtle nesting May to December - keep clear of nests and do not touch turtles.
