An extensive area of relatively flat, back reef stretches several hundreds of metres to a reef edge. The photographs for this resort were collected within 50m of shore, the swim out to the reef edge presenting a risk in relation to vessel activity. Easiest access to the water is via the short pier, with plenty of marine life in and around this area. Beach access is less easy due to the stony nature of the seabed. Although not of interest to many the shallow waters in this area were particularly rich in algal species.
Approximately 40 species were recorded.
Produced without the support of the resort.
