About Urquharts Bay
Urquharts Bay can be reached from the beach via stairs, with limited parking near a popular walking area that has toilets and a drinking fountain. From shore, divers wade a long distance through shallow water over a slippery bottom before reaching deeper water. Some divers also access the area by boat to dive farther from shore. Marine life includes snapper, goatfish, flounder, stingrays, and octopus around mooring blocks, with a chance of seeing kingfish in summer.
