Okay, checking in here. Savannah Bay is great except on the weekend when the locals go there enmasse for BBQ picnic party. No parking spaces and very crowded...unless you walk a short piece away from the main area, then you are good. As for Devil's Bay, snorkle out from the left, or far side, around the point but not all the way to the channel side as the current between islands is strong, and work your way around to the right side and check out the boulder "paths" and inlets which are cool. Also, on that side there is a dual acessable "cave" both from the water and the beach, but you will have to explore, search, look for,and be careful while swimming in, and from the beach you are on your hands and knees, but it is so cool...I can't wait! Is it May yet????? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

We've always just used Devils Bay to get swamped by the waves - savannah and Mahoe are much better for snorkeling - cheers Brian

Winterstale said: Chris - where is the good spot to snorkel at Savannah if it's calm? We take a right and walk down a ways. The reef is only a few yards offshore.

Gailgs - it really depends on how tough your feet are. I agree with this 100%. My nieces are tougher than I am, and were comfortable going barefoot. For me, water socks are the way to go. Dan

The Baths closes at sunset. It is an incredible place to be at dusk. In practice, I don't think they really send someone around the park kicking people out at sundown. At least, not the time we were there at that time of day.
Edit: we were the last people in the park, it was silent and an incredible experience.
