Your destination is a line of massive rocks extending above the water to more than 20 feet, but down to more than 30 feet below the waters surface. Once there, enjoy a reef teaming with fish life. This is probably the best place on Island to experience larger marine animals, like Spotted Eagle-rays and different species of Turtles.
