Scuba Diving
This is a classic pier-and-pilings macro dive: batfish, seahorses, frogfish, shrimps, cuttlefish and other small life cluster around the structure.
Snorkeling
Not the main draw for snorkelers; calm days may suit experienced snorkelers, but the pier structure and critter hunting are better with scuba.
