Sediment covers the bottom, so visibility is best when there is little or no wave action. Most of the reef flat has little bottom relief, and fish are more concentrated in areas where relief increases somewhat. At the outer edge of the reef the bottom drops off sharply to about 15 to 20 feet. Numerous arches, crevices and other features are found here, along with an abundance of fish. Safety considerations Summer swells frequently bring high surf to the southern shoreline.
Waves are particularly dangerous at the outer edge of the reef, where parts of the reef are exposed.
Facilities Restrooms, showers, emergency and pay phones, snack bar. Possession of fishing gear in the MLCD is prohibited. Other prohibited activities include taking of sand, coral or other geological features, or possessing equipment that may be used for that purpose.
