Diving and Snorkeling

Tugboat Beach snorkeling

Caracasbaai
Open detail

One of the island's best-known shore-entry snorkeling draws because the wreck is easy to understand and memorable to see.

Why this guide helps

This page gives you quick context on what the attraction is, why people visit, and what to plan for before you go.

Why travelers add it

Tugboat Beach stands out because it gives travelers a concrete underwater target instead of just general reef scenery. The partially submerged tugboat and nearby reef make it one of the easiest snorkeling spots to understand and enjoy on a first visit.

What stands out

  • Wreck-view snorkeling with clear visual payoff
  • Well known entry point for travelers building a snorkeling-heavy trip
  • Easy to combine with east-side beach or boat plans

Planning notes

  • Water shoes help because shore entry can feel rocky.
  • Go when conditions are calm enough for comfortable visibility and entry.
  • This is a strong self-drive stop if you want snorkeling without a full excursion.
