Snorkling Lakeside

After our morning walk, we went to Lakeside for a swim and snorkel trip.

At first, we stopped quickly at the information center shortly before the beach to ask for the current there and they told us the best way to snorkel at Lakeside. Then we went to the carpark and walked around 500 m down the beach before we entered the water. We had to swim out away from the beach quite a bit and had a hard time finding the reef here, the so-called bummies, as this part of the reef have many big, mostly round rocks with the corals on.
Finally, over the reef, it didn’t take a long time until Kara saw a turtle, actually pretty close to us and not too much in a hurry to swim away from us!
So cool!
Of course, we saw many fishes again but in total there was not so much to see here, especially because it’s so hard to find the bummies.

So we slowly went back to towards the beach and as we were too lazy to walk back on the beach we were snorkeling in the shallow waters and that was the best thing we could have done!! There was another turtle, right in front of us, swimming slowly around and we could follow it nice and easy and just enjoy it! 🥰Read more
