Stoke Beach
About Stoke Beach
Off Stoke Point, the seabed features extensive sponge-covered rock and sand patches, often referred to as “sponge gardens.” Depths are available for newer divers, while the most interesting rock formations and wildlife are found deeper. It’s highlighted as a strong spot for underwater photography, especially where sand meets low-lying rock that hosts many sponge species, including some described as rare.
