This dive site, Aquarium Beach, is located at the southwestern end of Magazine Beach in Grenada, directly in front of the Aquarium Restaurant. It's renowned as one of Grenada's easiest and most accessible spots for underwater exploration. The site is characterized by its very shallow depths, making navigation simple and suitable for all levels, particularly snorkelers and beginner divers. There's no complex navigation; simply explore the vibrant reef system extending from the shore.
Despite its shallow nature, Aquarium Beach boasts a surprising variety of marine life. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter diverse corals forming the reef structure. The waters are home to good-sized shoals of fish, alongside individual sightings of colorful boxfish, various tangs, shy moray eels, and active wrasse. This abundance of small to medium-sized reef fish makes for an engaging underwater experience.
The best time to visit Aquarium Beach is generally during Grenada's dry season, from January to May, when weather conditions are most stable and visibility is optimal. This site is particularly ideal for beginner divers looking to gain confidence in a calm environment, or for snorkelers and freedivers seeking an easy and rewarding experience. Its accessibility from the shore and minimal hazards make it a perfect family-friendly location.
