Dramatic formations of sheet coral in the form of small caves and overhangs. Visit the sand channels with coral mounds from 15 to 45 feet with a small wall that drops off down to 65 feet. The sand channels run East to West with the wall running North to South, and they’re filled with octopus, parrotfish, eels, groups of spotted eaglerays, stingrays, schools of squid, lobster (including reef and shovel nose). And speaking of drama: in March and April, Spurs is a calving area for dolphin. In February, its on the migratory path for pilot whales. At all other times of the year, it’s a haven for grouper, barracudas, cowfish, and boxfish.
