Blacktip Reef Shark Point

First of all, I’m a big scaredy cat when it comes to the ocean especially when I get further and further away from land. I was shocked by all the reviews of people saying how amazing and fun it was and no one really mentioned anything about it being scary. So this review is really for the ones who are a little apprehensive and don’t know if they can do it. We swam between the beach and shark point about an hour and a half to two hours after high tide so there were some fairly shallow points especially at the rocks. The water was so clear and beautiful especially when the sun came out just for a few minutes. Absolutely beautiful! There were quite a few boats going in between the shore and shark point which made me even more scared but eventually I was able to cross over to the small set of rocks. It was shallow enough most of the way where I could stand if needed. The water got pretty choppy at this point with not only the boats but the weather as well, and I ended up getting slammed into some rocks (my fault for getting too close). But I was really surprised by how beautiful and shallow the water was! We saw so many fish just munching on the rocks and some beautiful butterfly fish. I didn’t see any sharks because I chickened out and left too early, but if the water wasn’t choppy, and the sky was clear, this would be an absolutely gorgeous spot for snorkeling!! Even near the beach there are a lot of coral and sea life to observe! One of the most beautiful snorkeling spots I have ever visited truly.

Remarkable reef and super accessible way to see black tip reef sharks. I usually just swim out from the closest shore. Just mind the current and boats passing by. It’s best to go in the morning to see the sharks, but you probably will if you swim around long enough anytime of the day. I did however encounter a huge swarm of stinging jellyfish when the afternoon tide came in, wouldn’t recommend it. Don’t touch or stand on anything and be respectful to the reef and its inhabitants.

Snorkel with just a mask and see one two peaceful sharks pass by you a bit fast as they move around the sea and underwater caves. Lots of tropical fish you may not see anywhere else. There is a trick to see around a hundred of such fish very close to you at the same time, but I will post it on a YouTube channel though. Unique experience
