Usually visited by boat in calmer weather, Blue Pearl Bay suits snorkellers and beginner divers best when the sheltered bay stays quiet and entries are managed from the moorings.
About Blue Pearl Bay
Blue Pearl Bay is a sheltered boat-access reef on the southwest side of Hayman Island, where coral bommies and a short wall create one of the Whitsundays' easier snorkel and training-dive stops. The bay is best known for close fish life including giant wrasse, batfish, rays, clownfish, and occasional cuttlefish, while coral recovery and restoration remain part of the site's story after major cyclone damage.
