Secret Harbor - North is a shallow shore reef on the north side of Secret Harbor in St. Thomas. The route follows the sand and rock line from the beach, then returns through the rocks, so it works well as an easy snorkel or freedive. It sits inside a marine sanctuary and functions as a fish nursery and cleaning station, with regular shallow-reef fish and frequent turtles, rays, lobsters, and octopus.
Safety Notes
Observe sanctuary rules and watch the beach-entry rocks and surf line.
Access Restrictions
Within a marine sanctuary; no-take regulations apply.
Legal Notes
