Urquharts Bay

★★★☆☆ (142)

Limited car parking as this is by the start of a popular walking site that has toilets and a drinking fountain. Stairs down to the beach and then a long walk through shallow water with a slippery bottom until you find deeper water. Alternately divers travel here by boat and dive a little further from shore.

Snapper, Goatfish, Flounder, Stingrays with the chance of seeing kingfish during the summer. Octopus around the mooring blocks.
