RBKL Posted August 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Where is the snorkeling at Coco Cay? what is typically there to see? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2019 They call it Chill Island now. Looking out from the beach, go to the extreme left and there's a reef there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted August 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Snorkeling is really good. Like Clarea said, go to the extreme left and head out to the buoys where the opening between the rocks is. Lots of really cool stuff to see out there. We love snorkeling at CocoCay, going again next weekend. For sure go to Chill Island. Go to the beach right below the snorkel shack and then head into the water and enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsf Posted August 17, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Some where I read that they have a sunken plane out there but only people on excursions can go in that area, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that also. It's not like there's a 747 sunk down there, it's a small wrecked airplane hull that they dumped there. Much more interesting things to see near the reef.

Rare BecciBoo Posted August 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) My hubs got stung back in the day several yrs ago, but the solution of vinegar they gave him at First Aide took it right away...he never even noticed the jelly. Here's what we saw then: first an octopus then a jewel damsel and the jelly fish which was in the shallows on South Beach. Others were in the coral heads at what is now called Chill Island. Octopus is clutching a mussle of some kind that he'd been snacking on. Wouldn't let go of it! Cute...

furloughedagain Posted August 18, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Neat! Does anyone have a map of CoCo Cay that you can point out where specifically this is once we get off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted August 18, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The beaches and coves to the far left....amongst the coral there were all the critters we saw and then at South Beach, there are rays, conchs, star fish (which are actual Sea Stars, not fish) and SHARKS!

dawnls Posted October 14, 2019 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So if we BYO snorkel gear, we can just snorkel for free without an excursion? Do they have safety vests we can use? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to require swim vests and charged $6 per person for rental, but I believe they are free now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br111 Posted October 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Can anyone give some guidance on how far the swim is from the beach to the snorkeling spot? And how the quality of the snorkeling has been since Hurricane Dorian rolled through? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth bringing a snorkel/mask and if the distance from the beach is far enough where I would want to bring flippers too. (A bit big to pack - and I'd prefer to not have to rent.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
