Where to actually snorkel
Magens Bay is a swimming beach before it is a snorkelling one. The middle of the bay is sand from end to end, which is what makes the water so clear and so easy to swim in, but it also means there is not much down there to look at.
The rocks along the far left side of the bay hold small fish, and the coral toward the far right, out past Little Magens, is better again. Both are a long swim from the middle of the beach, so go in from that end rather than swimming across.
See what we rentBefore you go in
Lifeguards cover the main swimming area during park hours. Conditions are usually calm, but winter swells do happen and the far ends of the bay are outside the patrolled zone.
Everything else you need
Swimwear, rashguards and cover-ups are on the rack at the gift shop, along with sunscreen, hats and towels. If you decided to get in the water after you arrived, that is the place to sort it out.
