Very shallow beach site with statues, calm water, and easy snorkel-or-beginner scuba access in a sheltered bay.
About Little Bay
Little Bay is a very shallow beach-front site with an underwater sculpture park and a calm bay feel. The trail is easy to follow from shore, so it works well for snorkelers and beginner scuba divers who want a slow, relaxed look at the statues and the fish life around them. Because the bay is sheltered, the main focus is easy access, calm water, and staying along the designated trail.

Local Intel For Little Bay
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow profile (max ~6 m) makes it appropriate for beginners.
Freediving
Freediving works well here in calm water, but the park is better treated as a slow sculpture-trail swim than a distance challenge.
Snorkeling
This is the main use case for the site. The calm bay and shallow trail make it easy to spend time over the sculptures at snorkel depth.
