The DocksAt the foot of our 166 acre resort are the southern and main working docks, extending like fingers into the crystal Caribbean Sea. The southern dock is located in front of our seaside bar and is used for relaxing, swimming, sipping on your favorite drink, and late night star gazing.
The main dock, with the dive and snorkel shop, is the natural hub of the resort. This is where you will board the boat for diving, snorkeling, fishing and leisure trips. When you look below the docks, you will see marine life such as tarpon, , bonefish, barracuda, stingrays, nurse sharks and much, much more. The working dock is where we fuel our boats daily. We built the dock for the safety and convenience of our guests.
