This picture is of the "steps" at Steps Beach. The concrete steps gave their name to the surfing and snorkeling beach back in the 70's. When the swell is in as it currently is the surf at steps can be epoch and not suitable for newer surfers or those just interested in fun size waves.
Other times, this is the premiere snorkeling beach. The reef comes up to a couple of feet and it is an easy swim to the right from your entry point. The reef is home to huge Elkhorn coral, turtles and a wide range of reef fish. On several days when I was leading dive tours we encountered dolphins coming in close. On another day I had two new diving students and what should loom up was a huge Manatee. Not every day occurrences but the reef is rich. We rent snorkel gear here at the Lemontree or you can rent from a local dive shop.
Not a snorkeler or diver...this beach is great just for lying out in the sun and long walks along the shoreline. The palms come right down to the beach too so there is always shade to sit under and read a good book or take a nap.
