We spent the night at Highborne Cay after picking up my credit card and a couple of cold beers. In the morning, we headed to Cambridge Cay in the southern end of the Land and Sea Park.
We arrived early enough to take the dingy to a snorkel site called the Aquarium. It gets this name from all the fish on this reef. As soon as I jumped in, there were schools of fish swarming me. It was a little creepy at first, but you get use to it after a while.
The next day, we snorkeled Tom’s Elkhorn Reef, which had rare Elkhorn coral, and plenty of fish. I was staring down a large grouper, wishing I had a spear gun and was outside the park. So far, this is the nicest reef I’ve snorkeled on. It was so nice I started thinking about getting scuba equipment. If only I had a bigger boat for all the toys. Until then, I’ll have to stick with snorkeling.
After lunch, we went to the Rocky Dungas site. There are 2 islands with caves you can snorkel into. At low tide they’re exposed, but outside of that you have to swim underwater to get in. We were close enough to low tide that you didn’t have to go under water to get into the cave.
