Nurse sharks gather here.
Sometimes blacktip reef sharks join them.

Stingrays too.
You'll see them most of the time.

Go in the late afternoon or evening.
That's when fishermen clean their catch and the sharks come in.

Watch from the jetty.
The water is shallow and clear, so you can see everything from above.

It's free.
It's a public harbour, so no ticket is needed.

Look, don't touch.
No touching, no feeding and no swimming with the sharks here.

It's one of the best photo and video spots on the island.
