Smith’s Reef

The reef is very cool, must have water shoes unless you enter and exit down by the marina jetty, urchins lurk in the rocks. We found it easiest to drop stuff at the actual beach then walk up to the reef and snorkel all the way back down. Lots or sea turtles, stingrays and eagle rays, lots of fish, coral was in decent shape but suffering from ocean warming, bouyed off area is protected but you can swim around the outside.

Loved this beach for snorkeling. Definitely bring water shoes and an umbrella for shade. There are some trees, but it's hard to get a spot in the shade.

This reef has an abundant of seas turtles roaming around. We counted 20! The reef itself is mostly dead and the fish are unimpressive, but the presence of turtles made it up for all. To top it we spotted a beautiful sand shark. Water depth is mostly shallow even 100 ft into the ocean. Just ensure you enter where the red circled buoys are and you’ll be good.

Great shore snorkle. Lots of sea life. 3 main coral heads. Turtles everywhere. Sharks and spotted eagle ray as well (look near the West reef and between there and the North reef) Gorgeous, and free!

Wow! Incredible. Snorkelled here for the first time today and it was absolutely amazing. The reef is large and extra colourful with yellow, purple red green… There are millions of different colourful fishes. Even spotted a stingray that went hiding under the sand. The best part, however, was swimming with the sea turtles. Such a beautiful creatures and I just love the way they swim. I swam side-by-side with one for almost 6 min! Best snorkelling experience ever. It is very rocky going in the water but once you’re in, you’re fine. We went on a day when the current was not so strong. I still found it hard not to let myself get swept away by the current . Better to go in groups. Not recommended for solo in case something happens. Incredible Reef, a must do activity when in Providenciales.
