You could spend a lot of time here. Really you could. I snorkeled for about two hours, finding all kinds of fish, including an amberjack, grouper, parrotfish, squirrelfish and about a dozen other varieties. There were nice brain coral, fans, a few tube specimens and black amenomes.
At depths of about 15 or 20 feet it was like looking into the bottom of a pool. All the rocks you’ve seen in the pictures, I swam those until the water grew too cold. And then I sat int he shade of a nice rental umbrella, climbed the rocks, took pictures, shot video and generally had a perfect day at the beach.
Yesterday we saw this sand-gator. Today someone put orange peel eyes on him. It didn’t bother this guy at all to take a nap there.
We went for a climb up the big rocks that border Horseshoe Bay. Great views. You can see for miles to either side and straight to the sandy bottom of the water from your high perch.
I grew up with all-sand beaches. Rocks and sand are nice novelty to me.

When we left the beach we visited a small crafts fair. Wook in a few shops, too. There was a glassworks shop, too. They are selling and making things all day and night in there. They also had a cabinet of found bottles they would be happy to sell you.
Some were dug up from the area, others had been discovered in the waters around the island. At least two of these on this shelf were from the 19th century. Once they held coffee and perfume and the people that held them would have thought it silly there’s a hobby centered around collecting their empties.

Tomorrow, we’re going diving. And you’ll have other pictures from today. I did not bring an underwater camera, unfortunately.
