The
East Coast provides a haven for small fish and coral,
offering good snorkeling in warm shallow waters.
Enjoy the colorful sights but watch out for the
camouflaged Stone Fish, which can be very vindictive
if you step on it.
The
infamous ‘Sharque Island’ in the Bay of Khor
Fakkan and ‘Snoopy Island’ opposite Sandy Beach
Motel, on the East Coast both offer great snorkeling
at shallow depths. At low tide you can walk to Snoopy
Island but a swim is required at high tide.
Sharque Island is only accessible by boat.

Tip
·
To avoid sunburn on unsuspecting shoulders, wear a UV suit or T-shirt.
·
Wear plastic shoes or sandals in the shallows and when exploring the
islands. The
rocks can be very sharp.
Be
careful where you put your feet so as not to damage
the coral. If
you stand on coral it may die.
