Lion Poo Bay (MCC)
★★★★☆
(327)
Located at the island’s front and reached via a marked channel with red and blue buoys, this site shifts from coral reef to sand and seagrass meadows. With nine seagrass species, lion statues and artificial structures create a diverse habitat. It is used for diving courses and monitoring seagrass and seahorse.
Seahorses and pipefish hide among the seagrass, while goby–shrimp burrows dot the sand. Nudibranchs, flatworms and pufferfish are common, and each dive feels like a treasure hunt.
