Butterfly Bay is a local favourite for its excellent snorkeling and diving, protection from most wind conditions and namesake butterfly habitants found on the bay’s beach at certain times of the year.

Butterfly Bay is a Marine National Park Green Zone. As such it offers:

• snorkelling
• diving
• abundant marine life (in both shallows and at depth)
• wonderful birdlife

With its great protection from the south/south east winds and vast marine, butterfly and bird life, all easily accessible from the beach or off your boat, you may find yourself spending an extra night or two here to explore this diverse bay.
