18° 30.8′ N · 64° 21.5′ W · approximate
The reef-sheltered sound between Prickly Pear and Eustatia Island, with excellent snorkeling on the reef to the north in calm weather, a short dinghy ride from North Sound.
Practical
Coordinate approximate: on the reef side north of Eustatia Island (OpenStreetMap coastline). Snorkel only in calm conditions; the reef faces the Atlantic. Many charter companies (for example The Moorings) redline Eustatia Sound for yachts, but you can still dinghy here from North Sound in calm weather. Eustatia Island guests kitesurf nearby; watch for kites.
Best for
Reef snorkel away from the North Sound crowds
