About Fisherman's Cove Reef
Fisherman's Cove Reef is an easy boat-access reef off Mahé with sand outside the reef for anchoring and a relaxed profile that suits beginners and snorkelers. The site sits close to Beau Vallon and Bel Ombre, so it works well as a short local outing when sea state is calm. Expect light current, colourful reef life, and a straightforward swim over shallow coral and sand.
