West View

West View is included on most island tours. It’s basically nothing more than a short pier out into the ocean, from which some tourists (those who want to stay dry) feed the fish while other tourists snorkel around in the water, watching the fish eat. Everybody wins! A couple of slices of bread are included in your entrance fee. There are some underwater apparatuses here as well, sort of a large glass bubble that you put over your head and walk around on the bottom while a hose brings you air. Sort of like scuba for those who don’t want to learn how to do it.

The water is shallow and warm, and the locals who staff the place—charging admission, selling beer and tourist trinkets, renting out the water-bubble-things—are friendly.
