Coral Beach Nature Reserve

Also known as: Nature Reserve · The Protected Area · Coral Reserve

Close to shore the reef forms a maze of channels and pools only 3 to 6 m deep. Beyond it lies a sandy strip with scattered coral heads, the Moses and Joshua rocks, and then a slope with large stony corals that runs down to about 35 m. Manta describes the slope as rich in soft and hard corals, Palma praises the reserve's coral wall, and ScubaGo mentions stony coral colonies 2 m or more across. Several separate dive sites, including the boat-only Japanese Gardens in the south, belong to the reserve. Divers must keep hands and fins off the reef, and entry to the fenced part is paid.
