Cerro Gordo Beach
★★★★★
(85)
This is a shallow shore dive, no more than 30 feet of depth with a sandy/turtle grass bottom. There is a natural reef about 50 feet offshore, with mostly soft corals growing on it. Marine life can be variable with the reef sometimes hosting lots of fish, other times not so much.
Here you’ll see small tropical fish, angels, yellowtail, grunts, etc. There is invertebrate life if you look close enough, and there is an excellent chance of seeing sea stars.
