Understand
Regions
| Tortola On the other side of Tortola at the Cane Garden bay beach, there is some interesting snorkeling. Very easy site with a departure from the sandy beach and recommendable for children. The visibility on the other hand was not fabulous: a few meters. The most impressive of this day was the presence of millions of small fish that the large groups ate greedily. |
