What the community said
The Address hotel beach is known for frequent turtle sightings — snorkeling with them is a highlight. Fish are small and sparse near shore, but turtles appear close to the beach. The Miramar hotel area reportedly has flounder, small rays, eel-like fish, and turtles near the Snoppy Island zone.

Turtles swim along the algae-covered rope markers, grazing on the growth. Best times to spot them are early morning or after 5 PM.

Turtles tend to stay near rocks and are hard to spot without a snorkel mask. Morning hours offer the best chance to swim alongside them.
