Bovisand Bay
★★★★☆
(702)
Bovisand has a series of three bays, and Bovisand Bay is the first. There is plenty of parking (paid), and the beach is easily accessible via a path and steps down. These bays are perfect for beginners and usually sheltered, yet there’s enough to keep even the most experienced diver occupied.
Much like it’s neighbouring Crown Hill Bay, a little further East, Bovisand Bay plays host to a variety of underwater flora and fauna. Keep your eyes peeled for nudibranchs!
