Snorkeling in the Hidden Cove, Friar’s Bay, St. Kitts

Blue Tang School, Friar’s Bay, St. Kitts

We were able to take our dinghy into the small bay and beach it on the sandy shoreline.  Then, we waded into the water, careful to avoid the prickly sea urchins.  The water inside of the cove was fairly cloudy without much sea life.  However, once we swam just outside of the bay, over the rocks, the water was crystal clear and we saw schools of Blue Tangs and a variety of other fish like trumpetfish, Sargent Majors, Groupers, Rainbow fish and more.  We also saw a Ray.  This area for snorkeling definitely lived up to its reputation with so many fish in the area.

There was also a lot of fire coral, which is jagged, yellowish coral growing on top of rocks.
