• At Emily Bay, visitors can enjoy the safety of a protected bay with pristine waters and swimming/snorkelling experiences available for all levels of confidence.
• Emily Bay has reef-sheltered waters which are perfect for a snorkel, a paddle and there’s an offshore pontoon, known locally as ‘the raft’, from where visitors can jump into the water.
• The plate corals on the reef are huge and provide layers of hiding space for the myriad of sea creatures such as sea urchins.
