thanks casa
i am surprised by people's ignorance or just plain blatent disregard fro safety re: glass on beach.
having a car gives the freedom to pull over to the side of the road like you a nd hop in for snorkeling!

This trip we went to : Boca, Malmok, Arashi and Baby Beaches. We stay at Casa Del Mar so we sometimes snorkel/float from Manchebo to Eagle.
The turtles were spotted out off of Arashi near the wreck. I saw the coral snake pretty close to the beach, I could touch bottom. We also saw several "puffer" type fish here.
Again Baby Beach is nice but the waves were rough and we being water lovers were irritated to see a group (15-20) of young tourist out in the water with glass bottles of beer, even the Momma's Hut was selling some of the beer in the bottle....
But Baby Beach does have nice big fish to view.
