A paradise for snorkelers and divers, the Baie Ternay marine park is treasured for its astounding vistas, with pristine seashore fringed by calm turquoise shallows and abundant marine life. With no direct coastal road, access, this park retains its exclusivity and natural beauty. It supports an interesting combination of coastal habitats comprising mangroves, sandy shores, rocky shores, sea grass beds and coral reefs. This park provides an exhilarating experience with possibilities for spotting whale sharks, dolphins and sea turtles. The seagrass beds at the north side of the bay, near the main channel, are vital turtle feeding grounds. Here, hawksbill turtles and the well-camouflaged moray eels are commonly encountered while large clusters of catfish are also often seen sheltering amongst the granite boulders.
