Creator's Key Takeaways

Tugboat Beach is one of cel's most popular dive and snorkeling sites more more than 30 years ago a tugboat sank just off the coast

the water at this beach is very clear so you have no problem seeing the Boat and Marine life it's spectacular

if you're planning to bring your little ones along for this adventure make sure to equip them with floaties or a life jacket

you can rent a barbecue pit and they'll even organize a party for you on the beach

Creator's Tips & Advice

Equip little ones with floaties or a life jacket depending on age or swimming skills
Bring sunscreen, snacks, water, cash, snorkeling gear, and a waterproof camera
Use a waterproof pouch for your phone instead of buying a GoPro
Bring repellent if sensitive to mosquito bites
Wear water shoes when approaching the tugboat
