The sea is a beautiful colour We went out in one amongst many other glass bottom boats to a decent spot with plenty of colourful fish for snorkelling. Definitely worth a visit. Google maps led us a bit awry.

We did glass bottom boat and snorkeling there. It was weekday so there was no crowd. We were alone in our boat so we could enjoy it better and fed fish with bread. Amazing experience of snorkeling also as the water was clear. This video I shot on my phone while doing snorkeling

A stunning beach with incredible azure waters, but sadly, most of the corals are dead or sick due to pollution and global warming. We snorkeled and saw a variety of fish, but it was heartbreaking to see their shelters, once vibrant corals, now lifeless. Despite this, the beach and bay remain breathtakingly beautiful.

Beautiful beach and park, it was independence day so it was very busy. We did a little boat trip, snorkeled a bit, the water is very clear over there and we went ashore at coco island, (Ilot Des Deux Cocos) this is an all inclusive island as far as I understood. We also had the fruits with tamarind sirop, chillie salt, and chillie paste. It's very good if you like spicy 😁.
