You can find coral heads, fields of stag-horn coral. The reef starts just to the right of the river mouth and runs along the cliff line. This was once a beautiful place for snorkellers but due to a combination of El Nino conditions and siltation from upland farms, damage to many of the corals occurred in the late 90s. Snorkelling is still pleasant here.
