Taylor Bay Starfish

First time sighting of sea stars in the shallow waters of Taylor Bay

First time sighting of sea stars in the shallow waters of Taylor Bay

Malaika was sooooo excited when she first saw some small starfish as she played in the shallows at Taylor Bay this passed weekend. She wasn’t too sure about holding them.

Do you want to hold it as I'm kinda not sure about all this?

We tried to get her to "gently" lay them back in the water but she liked it better when she plopped them into the water

Malaika quite liked the starfish after a while and was reluctant to leave them behind.

The Sandbar at Bonefish Point

The sandbar at Bonefish Point......an idyllic afternoon of lazing in six inches of water.

Light winds and pretty smooth seas so off we headed to Bonefish Point. We hadn’t been out there for ages and it was spectacular as always.  The shore line has changed somewhat but as usual, we nosed right onto the sandbar and stepped off the boat into about two feet of water. Right away we sighted some beautiful pin cushion star fish, a large orange and a yellow one and then a smaller sandy coloured one. They were just laying in the shallows and our little munchkin was fascinated by them.

Malaika was enthralled with the starfish as we taught her to keep them under the water.

As you can see, the sandbar is really shallow and extends quite a ways out to where the boat is anchored in two feet of water.

We strolled along the deserted beach looking for shells and bits of coral.

 

Malaika stops to call out to her Dad who's on the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the day  and walking along this stunning stretch of shoreline. A big bonus was seeing all the starfish and getting a close up look at them in the shallows.

Well, the countdown is on and I’m heading off island to meet and greet our new grandbaby. I’ve told Tina, she simply has to wait until I get there before giving birth. Hopefully, I’ll be there before the baby comes out to meet everyone.

Snorkeling

The Bight Reef otherwise known as the White House Reef is one of our great snorkeling spots. Really close to the shore and being protected by a circle of buoys. Lots of great things to see as you follow the circle of buoys on the outside. Please don't go inside the circle as at low tide you are almost scraping the coral and therefore damaging it.

Book your vacation trip soon and come and enjoy snorkeling the clear waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
