Snorkeling Maho Bay

The seagrass beds of this shallow bay provide food for green sea turtles, which are seen more frequently in the early morning or late afternoon. Limited coral and fish can be seen at the rocky tips of the bay away from the beach. As with Francis Bay to the east. Maho is usually calm with minimal wind chop, and is much less affected by winter swells than elsewhere on the North Shore.
