Turtle Lagoon is an Elizabeth Harbour snorkeling site associated with Stocking Island. The Exuma listing describes seagrass and mangroves, a different habitat from the exposed coral seen on a reef trip. Small fish can shelter near mangrove roots, and a visit is worthwhile for observing that habitat whether or not a turtle appears.
Practical visitor information
Ask a local operator to identify the current viewing area and a suitable entry point. Observe animals at a distance, give them room to surface, and keep fins clear of roots and seagrass. Conditions and traffic in the harbour should guide the decision to enter the water.
