Ironshore Gardens
★★★★★
(118)
Ironshore Gardens sits behind a rugged limestone outcropping called ironshore. A well-structured network of north-south ridges, canyons, arches, and tunnels connect via swim-throughs. The Throat cavern is a notable feature. Shallow ridge tops at 30 feet offer scenic safety stops.
Glassy Sweepers fill The Throat cavern. Rays, crustaceans, and schooling fish abound. Staghorn and Elkhorn coral crown ridge tops. Rarely, bait ball silversides appear in caverns.
