Waterlemon Cay Details
You'll have a 0.5-mile hike (one way) to Leinster Bay Beach before you can even think of visiting Waterlemon Cay; then it's a little bit of a swim out to the island, but the payoff is the best snorkeling in the park. You'll find clear water that's teeming with fish, rays, turtles, conch, starfish and other sea life; a representative cross section of coral, and opportunities for stunning underwater photos.
