Virgin's Cove
Virgin's Cove is named after a shipwreck that killed a group of nuns at Anse La Raye. Today, a cross constructed right above this dive spot commemorates their death. The greatest depth is around 70 feet, and divers may view brain coral, barrel sponges, and the odd stingray.
Many big barrel sponges, gorgonian sea fans, brain coral, and other hard and soft coral species may be found in the waters of Virgin's Cove. Moray eels, sea crabs, and many types of snapper are among the aquatic species found at Virgin's Cove. Cleaner shrimp and scorpionfish can be found in large numbers in the shallowest areas. Turtles, Atlantic spadefish, and occasionally stingrays and barracudas may be found here. This reef is distinctively formed like a figure "9," and it is diversified, becoming more defined as you dive deeper.
Virgin's Cove is quite near to Anse Cochon beach and is another excellent snorkeling location in St. Lucia. Because Virgin's Cove can only be reached by boat, you may need to hire a water taxi or organize a snorkeling excursion if you wish to snorkel there. Although Virgin's Cove is one of the less popular snorkeling spots in St. Lucia, it offers a totally different but equally fantastic experience than other snorkeling spots.
