Snake Bay is located west of Boca Sami, a fishing village just past BlueBay. This quiet, beautiful, small beach with its crystal clear blue water, is a popular dive spot. The name Snake Bay, named Playa Wachi by the locals, is due to the many snakes that were regularly spotted in the water. Actually they’re not snakes, but moray eel…
The reef is hilly and you find mushroom shaped formations of stove pipe sponges, brown tube sponges, and one of the most important corals found within the Caribbean region: the boulder star coral. You can see swarms of creole wrasse and blue tangs, lettuce sea slug and various kind of cleaning shrimp. If you are lucky you can spot Tarpons and even green sea turtles.
