点评:Amazing location for walkable snorkeling. We arrived early and were not sure exactly where the reef was, as there are no buoys or markers there any more. Here is how we found it... from either entrance, walk or snorkel along the shore until you see the Smith's Reef Sign on the beach. Swim strait our past the grasses until you come to the reef. It's a little disconcerting if you've never been there before. We were already in the water and on our way out when a boat pulled up and anchored, confirming the spot for us. However, the boat did not give any rules to the snorkelers they dropped off... I saw swimmers touching coral and heard one saying he almost grabbed a turtle. It was really sad. The reef and it's inhabitants are there for us to view and enjoy from afar, but you should do so with respect and care.
We did lose count of how many Hawksbill Turtles we saw at this location. It was pretty amazing. We also saw countless colorful fish and one barracuda.

我们在那个地方看到的绿海龟数量多到数不清,真是太神奇了。我们还看到了无数色彩斑斓的鱼儿,以及一条梭鱼。
