Green Cay Reef Snorkel

18° 27.1′ N · 64° 42.6′ W · approximate

Clear water and reef around Green Cay and across to Sandy Spit, reached straight from the anchorage; part of the reef system that links Diamond Cay, Green Cay and Sandy Spit.

Practical

Position is approximate: the reef between Green Cay and Sandy Spit. Snorkel from the boat or dinghy in calm conditions; avoid when north swell breaks on the reef. Green Cay is a critical nesting site for roseate terns, which only return to undisturbed sites, so do not land on the bird areas (NPT).
