Frenchie's Beach

Experience Required
Beginner

Depth Range
15-45 feet/ 4.5-21meters

Highlights
This is one of the most popular sites for scuba divers and campers that wish to forgoe the comforts of boat diving and rough it on the beach. Both the eastern and western ends of the cove have some nice spots for scuba diving and snorkeling along the rocky outcroppings. In-between the ends of the cove are small rocky patches intermingled with long stretches of sandy bottoms.

Location
South of Tetakawi, take the dirt road east from Lalo Cove

Notes
This is a nice place to see a lot of rays, and campers often report dolphins cruising the bay in the early mornings. Slightly more secluded and quiet than Lalo cove, but the scuba diving isn't quite as diverse either.
