Long Reef Details
Part of a large barrier reef system that runs two miles south in shallow waters, Long Reef has a long history of causing shipwrecks and is a terrific spot to snorkel and SCUBA dive. More than 600 species of bright, tropical fish can be found in the park's warm waters and among its corals, so be sure to keep an eye out when swimming around Long Reef. Depths here range from 15 to 40 feet, and go as deep as 100 feet where Long Reef merges with other reefs in the area.
