The famous coral garden of Blue Bay Marine Park starts a few hundred metres from the public beach. Good swimmers can snorkel out from the sand to the first coral heads, where the water is shallow and full of fish; the richest part (and the big brain coral) is further out, where the glass-bottom boats go.
It's a lovely free alternative or complement to the boat trip. Fishing and collecting are forbidden in the park.
