Simply beautiful

Today was our first 'real' day at Moalboal. Well rested, we woke up and headed for the beach! The beach is not world class with plenty of rocks to clamber on. However the snorkelling is AMAZING!

Our room is on the beach, so accessing the reef is really easy. Snorkels on and we headed in! The coral is so beautiful. There is every kind on dispay here and it is in great condition unlike in many other places! Schools of sardines hung around the reef in their millions, often parting when a predator came along and then darting back together. We saw many different types of fish, from clown fish to parrot fish. The colours sensational! We also spent some time swimming along with a couple of turtles which was wonderful. They are so graceful, not a care in the world. Snorkelling here is world class and we can't wait to dive Pescador Island, a short boat trip away.

We watched the sunset at the beach before heading home...
