Things To Do

Explore the Best of Green Turtle

Snorkeling & Diving

The waters surrounding Green Turtle Cay are known for excellent visibility and colorful reefs. Experienced snorkelers can explore independently by speaking with locals at boat rental locations to discover the best reef spots. Please remember to anchor only in sandy areas and never over coral to help protect the island’s fragile marine ecosystems.

Popular snorkeling spots include Bita Bay, accessible by a short walk along Long Bay Beach, where a reef extends directly from shore, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers. North Pointe Beach, located at the northern tip of the island and reachable by golf cart, offers shallow-water reefs teeming with marine life.
