Bathtub Reef

Bathtub Reef, located off Bathtub Beach in Stuart, is a unique natural reef formed by the intricate work of sabellariid worms. This reef acts as a natural breakwater, creating a tranquil lagoon perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The shallow waters, ranging from 5 to 8 feet deep, are ideal for families and beginners looking to explore the underwater world without venturing too far from shore. The lagoon is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, including sea turtles, stingrays, and a variety of tropical reef fish. This makes it a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a safe and engaging snorkeling experience.
