You can actually take the kids snorkeling right off the island’s calm shore the water stays shallow for a good stretch so you don’t need to bring heavy gear. A quick walk from the pier gives a clear view of the reef, and the kids can even spot a few colorful fish. If you’re planning an October trip, the sea is usually calm and the light is great for spotting marine life. Have you thought about whether you’d like to bring your own snorkel gear or just use the simple fins and masks that are often available near the beach?
