Loved this area since it was close to the hotel and required almost no work to see tons of fish! Infact it allowed me to teach my 5 year old how to snorkel and now I can take him out on the boat to snorkel! More

I really enjoyed snorkeling here, there are lots of fish, plants and coral to see; though it is obvious that the coral here isn't as healthy as other, lower traffic areas. We saw squids, baracudas, turtles and tons of fish. Do remember to stay outside the ropped-off area, I head there are large fines if you swim inside and damage... More

We enjoyed "The Bight" more than Grace Bay. The waves were fun and no crowds. It was lovely. More

We SNUBA'd and snorkeled at Bight Reef. With the help of our SNUBA guide we were able to see a seahorse which was a very unique experience. The day we were there the current was a little rough for snorkeling, but the SNUBA was good. Decent visibility. More

They are trying to prevent further destruction by roping-off the reef itself. Better snorkelling is Smith's Reef about $15 cab fare south. More

The roped-off area in front of the Somewhere...Cafe is going to highly trafficked by other snorkelers. It's worth taking a look as we did several times and saw amazing coral and fish (saw a rather large stingray watching us on our last trip) but take some time to explore the surrounding areas if the waves are smaller and the annoying...

Lots of fish, Easy to swim very shallow. Not being able to go into the inner circle was a little dissappointing, but not that big of a deal. More

Bight Beach is pretty and convenient, but the off-shore snorkeling is much better at Smith's Reef, and the beach is nicer, too. More

Yes, the boat traffic is close by but it's all marked, so if you stay inside the marked areas you should be safe. The reef is the best snorkelling in the Caribe. We have snorkeled in many different places on many different islands but this one definitely stands out. The only better place was Fiji, and that just can't be... More

There are way too many motor boats and I was baffled that the large para-sailing boat pulls in and off the beach literally right next to the reef where you have many people snorkeling. Not good for the reef, and not safe for snorkelers. I hope this traffic is eliminated around the reef. More
