While diving and snorkeling aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, if you and bae love a good adventure, then you should definitely consider exploring the many reefs in the Caribbean. Apart from the ability to see some really amazing plants, there is also marine life at these reefs that you’ve likely never even heard of before. If this sounds like an adventure you and bae would love, then read on as I share my favorite Caribbean Reefs for black couples traveling together.
Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park
Located in Cozumel, this National Park is definitely a great stop if you want to explore the reefs of the Caribbean.
The reefs at this national park have about 60 different coral species that you can observe and over 500 different species of fish. Apart from fish, there are also about 350 other types of marine animals that you can see if you decide to go snorkeling at the reef.
What makes the area so unique is the specific things you can see. This includes the Queen Triggerfish, as well as the Pink Conch, amongst other natural wonders.
Buck Island Reef
Buck Island Reef is great if you prefer clear and open waters to explore. It’s located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and you will need to book a special tour if you want to go diving here. However, it’s definitely worth the effort.
The U.S. National Park Service actually created an underwater trail that you and bae can follow in the Buck Island Reef. This makes it a great choice for snorkeling and diving, depending on what you want to see and how deep you’re willing to go.
Curacao Underwater Marine Park
Another park that protects a reef, the Curacao Underwater Marine Park, gives you an opportunity to explore a reef that stretches 12 miles. There are 11 different diving spots that you can choose from at the park, and it sits just off the Curacao coast.
The clear water in this reef makes it easier to see underwater. In fact, the visibility is usually around 150 feet if you decide to dive during the day. The majority of the diving spots are about 300 miles away from the shore. There are also lots of different marine species, fish, and coral to discover. Another thing that attracts a lot of people to this reef is the fact that you can also see several wreckages at the bottom of the ocean floor.
Snorkelers and those who don’t have a lot of experience with diving should consider picking Tugboat Beach as the spot for their experience. This will give you a chance to observe the tugboat wreckage that’s just about 20 feet underneath the surface of the water. This shipwreck is covered in coral, which really makes it a unique sight.
Final Thoughts
There are a lot of different reefs to explore in the Caribbean, but if you want a really diverse experience, I’d say take bae to the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park. It’s a national park that protects a large portion of reefs in the Caribbean, with a variety of areas that you can explore.
