bow watching for dolphins and sunning on the trampolines
underway while being served refreshing tropical drinks
or cocktails from the bar.
The anchorage at Blue Field Range is a protected lagoon
that offers a diversity of water activities. For those
who like to snorkel there are large coral heads to explore
along with the rare opportunity to snorkel with the
manatees. Kayakers will enjoy exploring the lush mangroves
where they will find manatees, dolphins, starfish, and
a variety of other wildlife.
If you like flats fishing for bone fish, tarpon, snapper
or permit, you will be in fish heaven! Blue Field Range
is well known internationally for its flats fishing.
Also this is a great place for lobster and conch hunting.
Just in case we did not get lucky with our trolling,
there always are the local fishermen that stop by to
sell the catch of the day, conch or lobster. |
