- Shallow coral gardens (snorkel-friendly reef): A broad, shallow reef sits close to shore — easy wading or a short swim — full of branching corals and lots of small reef fish. It’s the best spot for a quick, low-cost snorkel without needing a boat.
- Sea turtles and reef fish: Hawksbills and greens are commonly seen feeding along the edges of the reef, and you’ll also spot damselfish, parrotfish and wrasse. Quiet, slow-moving snorkeling increases your chances of close encounters.
- Seagrass flats and juvenile nurseries: The shallow sandy patches with seagrass are important nurseries — look for juvenile fish, juvenile rays and the odd curious crab. It’s a different texture from the coral areas and worth scanning closely.

- Intertidal rock pools: At low tide the shoreline reveals tidepools that hold crabs, small mollusks and shorebirds picking through the pools. Good for a short walk and some low-effort wildlife watching without getting fully wet.
- Coastal boardwalks and lookout points: Simple paths and viewing platforms along the shore give panoramic views of the reef and offshore water. Great for photography, birdwatching and catching the light at sunrise or sunset.
- Easy shore entry dive/snorkel spots: Several gentle entry points make this park friendly for independent, budget divers and snorkelers — no expensive boat charter needed. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a buddy, and you’ll get a lot out of a day here.
- Local fishing and coastal village life: The working coastline nearby adds cultural color — small fishing boats, lines of locals mending nets and seafood coming ashore. It’s a good chance to combine nature watching with local flavor.
