We walked down here from our hotel one morning. You can walk in right off the beach. Not a lot to see. Like a lot of coral it seems to be dying.Full review by D_JOregon

Hi there, Is there a better time of day or year to see the Marine Life specifically turtles? We will be staying at Beaches Turks & Caicos is Mid September.

yikes. am writing 1,200pp grant, so didn't see this. i really don't know. i suspect in the water, no difference. but nesting, would be quite seasonal(?) hope you are having fun!
Is there any place nearby where you can lock up your valuables if you are not taking a car to this area? I would really like to snorkel at this reef, but plan to bike (or walk) from my hotel there.
A:
I don't think so. We left our towels and beach bag on the beach and put our money, keys, etc. In an aquapac that straps around my waist when snorkeling. No one bothered our stuff.
What’s the best part of Bight Reef for seeing stingrays? I’ve been here 3 days and have snorkeled several times every day and have only seen fish and turtles. Tomorrow’s my last day and I’d love to see a ray! Thanks for any info.
A:
Hey sorry I missed this. I did see a few rays while I was there right off the beach. Hopefully you saw some cool stuff!
