Lovango North Bay & Congo Cut Snorkel

18° 21.9′ N · 64° 48.4′ W · approximate

The small, usually calm bay on Lovango's north side facing Congo Cay, where nurse sharks rest on the bottom by day.

Practical

Position approximate: the water off Lovango's north shore between Lovango and Congo Cay (checked to be in water). Wikipedia: the north side has a small bay that tends to stay calm with Congo Cay to the north, with very good snorkeling and nurse sharks often resting there. The island guide calls the north-side beach Crescent Beach and notes Congo Cay is about 100 yards away. The channel between Lovango and Congo carries 13 ft (Coast Pilot); watch the current.
