Cemetery Beach snorkellingCemetery Beach

The easy shore snorkel on the north end of Seven Mile Beach: a public access, a shallow reef a short swim out, and no boat needed. Go early on a calm morning; skip it when the sea is rough or the flags say so.

Questions and answers

answered by Voykit editors · dated
Do I need a boat?

No. The reef is a short swim from the sand; bring or rent a mask and fins and check the sea with a dive shop first.

Checked 2026-09-29 · Voykit desk

Why is it called Cemetery Beach?

A cemetery sits across the road from the access. Behave as you would beside any burial ground: no music, and cover up when you walk from the road.
