Snorkelling at Shelly Beach



Today we went snorkelling at Shelly Beach and snorkelled in the Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve. We saw several kinds of fish that I can't be bothered to try to identify and two large wobbegong sharks (about as long as we are tall). One was very active - quite the sight, considering they are normally nocturnal. We swam along above it for what seemed like 10 minutes, until it disappeared into a kelp forest. 





It's pretty cool that there's decent snorkelling just a ferry ride away from where we live. I definitely recommend Shelly Beach over Gordon's Bay, although that could simply be partially because of luck and/or weather and currents.
