Cove with decent snorkeling


Notes from visits

  • At the far end of the runway is a cove with good snorkeling (good fish counts). Snorkeling on the way to Pawai Bay is supposed to be very exciting (clear water, lots of life, caverns, arches, drop offs, caves), but go in good conditions (for experienced snorkelers). You can also drive over and snorkel at Pawai Bay.
