Coral Bay shore dive with a sculpted rock amphitheatre.
Coral Bay shore dive with a sculpted rock amphitheatre.
A shore-access reef at Coral Bay with a sculpted natural amphitheatre, sandy pockets, arches, and overhangs. The route is straightforward for newer certified divers in calm water, with the main feature close to the entry and a second rocky basin farther along the reef. Expect clear water, light play across the rock, and regular sightings of squid, cuttlefish, morays, trumpetfish, and other reef life.

No special permit is noted; follow normal shore-access and parking rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The route begins in a sandy patch and then moves across the amphitheatre; stronger air can continue toward the second basin and nearby walls.
Snorkeling
The main amphitheatre sits close enough to the entry to be visible to snorkelers when the sea is calm.
