Myth or legit: park rangers regularly patrol the beaches at Turquoise Bay.

Answer: Myth

Myth. Rangers don't regularly patrol it, and currents can be strong, especially around the sandbar. Never snorkel alone.

For the drift snorkel, enter about 200m south of the Drift Loop track and let the current carry you north over the coral. If you're inexperienced and alone, go with a licensed tour operator.
