A protected marine area and the island's best easy snorkeling. The entry is rocky, so bring water shoes; the Wet Spot rental booth is a three-minute walk away.

Great little cove out of the way… they also have picnic tables across the road in shade too..:: the beach is very pebbly but it’s a great area for snorkeling…. Saw a shark too!

Beautiful little cove. Totally walkable from the cruise terminal. Amazing views and photo opportunities. It was too cold to swim, but I don't remember if it's even allowed here at this spot. You can spy some girbraldi in the water if you look for the bright orange spots in the kelp.
