However, beauty is not the only thing that stands out about this place. In addition, its climatic and natural conditions make it the perfect place to practice water sports and adventure tourism. One of the favorite activities for visitors from all over the world is snorkeling, especially due to its colorful locals and the abundance of exotic fish.
Here are the best places in St. John to snorkel before dinner at Morgan's Mango.
The first snorkeling destination we want to refer to in St. John is Maho Bay. It is the perfect place for people who want to live the experience of swimming with sea turtles. This is because it is a bay that is home to seagrass meadows that attract especially turtles and other species such as rays. In addition, in this site you can explore the rocky reefs on its sides, as well as discover from fish and squid to sea urchins and octopuses.
In second place, only 10 minutes away from Cruz Bay, this site offers an incredible landscape that combines crystal clear waters with imposing green hills. In addition, it has shallow coral reefs full of Elkhorn coral, so it is considered a paradise for fish. At the same time, it is important to note that this place is perfect for all levels of experience and skill with snorkeling, because the practice is accessible from the beach and the waters are shallow.
This is considered one of the best places in St. John for snorkeling, because it offers a wide variety of corals of different colors, as well as species of fish. It is reached by walking along the Leinster Bay Trail and then swimming a short distance to the island.
Francis Bay is a quieter and also less crowded option for those who want to see sea turtles but with less crowds. It also has beautiful rocky reefs and seagrass meadows on the edges of the bay. Therefore, it is a perfect place to snorkel and then enjoy the beach while watching pelicans in the water.
Finally, on the south coast we can find another excellent place to swim with turtles among the seagrass meadows where they congregate. The reefs are shallow and are on either side of the bay.
After having enjoyed a day full of aquatic adventures and beautiful experiences with marine animals, the best way to relax is to enjoy a delicious dinner in a restaurant that offers both gastronomy and history, identity and an experience in itself. This is Morgan's Mango, a unique place where the flavors of the Caribbean merge in an atmosphere as cozy as it is vibrant.
Close your tour with a unique dinner and have a perfect finale!
Ceviche is one of the most sought after dishes in the Caribbean today. It is a dish that combines the freshness of the sea with citric acidity.
