We really liked this beach. It had much less people than Grace Bay and still very beautiful. We snorkeled and saw many great fish. We loved it.

This was right outside our resort which was very convenient to get to. We went out a couple of times, and once we got the hang of it, we were able to see a lot.
The reef seems to be fairly vacant. I was surprised since a restoration seems to be underway. It wasn't horrible snorkeling but didn't compare to some I've done in the past in Caymen and the Virgin Islands. The further you go out past the roped off area in the back, the better it got, I thought. Didn't see any turtles...

Our hotel was directly across from the reef but almost all of the other resorts are a short walk away. The reef is shallow enough to snorkel & is located a few feet from the shore. It's very "alive" with coral, turtles, sting rays & other colorful sea life. Bring your underwater camera!
great beach but pretty crowded so go early...saw turtles and different types of fish...but you would go just for snorkelling not really a swimming type of beach...water is pretty deep too.
Bight Reef is a nice, accessible beginner snorkeling experience. We drove to it from our hotel and parked on the roundabout by the Coral Gardens Hotel. There is a little path up the side of the hotel next to the abandoned condo project to the beach and it is right there, just don't use the hotel's chairs. We had a...

Need to swim on the outside of the reef and it was well marked . The water is calm and easy for snorkeling. It was nice but not as good as St Thomas or St John.
Very good snorkeling. You have to swim out to the middle of the back to see the most sea life. Word to the wise: don't go in the red buoys. The middle is sectioned off so that people don't touch and get hurt by the fire coral.
We loved this reef......its not terribly far out from land and was a great opportunity to get out and do some snorkeling on your own! Its not a massive reef but there are plenty of fish swimming around and its a great stop!
I have been on quite a few snorkeling trips and none compared to how many different types of fish I saw in this reef, how many schools of fish I saw, and I getting to swim with a sea turtle. It seemed like it was about a 20 minute walk from Regent Palms and you really can't miss the red...
