Snorkeling By The Sandbank

去 COCO Cocoa 島的拖尾沙灘看日出和浮潛是不容錯過的體驗(yàn)。天亮前就起身背上裝著浮潛裝備的背包出門，此時天剛蒙蒙亮，海水在慢慢漲潮。沿著木棧道向東，再沿著沙灘來到主島的最東側(cè)，只見一條潔白的拖尾沙灘蜿蜒向前，正迎著日出的方向。

緩步向前，三三兩兩的小螃蟹在沙灘上飛奔，兩側(cè)起落的海水規(guī)律地涌上岸，眼前的路時隱時現(xiàn)。路盡頭的紅霞越來越亮，終于在日出的一刻金光照亮海面。有情侶攜手沿著拖尾沙灘散步，背影融入初升的朝陽，構(gòu)成了絕美的畫面。

不需要乘船出海和眾人一起下餃子般浮潛?？赐耆粘龊?，穿上救生衣戴好面鏡吸管（不穿腳蹼更自在），直接從沙灘的北側(cè)走進(jìn)大海！綠松石色的淺灘后是茂密的珊瑚礁群，再向前游去，赫然發(fā)現(xiàn)海底出現(xiàn)一整面斜坡，形成壯觀的大斷崖滑進(jìn)深海。沿著斜坡浮潛將見到最生機(jī)盎然的海底世界，各式各樣的魚群走馬燈般出現(xiàn)在眼前。

從海面上看，大斷崖的位置正是珊瑚礁群與海藍(lán)色海水的交界處，距離 Cocoa 島東北側(cè)的沙灘竟然如此之近，實(shí)在是上天眷顧而來的浮潛圣地。此外，此處平靜的洋流朝向沙灘方向，始終將浮潛的人往岸上送，極大增強(qiáng)了安全系數(shù)。

浮潛盡興后回房，正好是去Ufaa餐廳享用豐盛早餐的時間。嶄新的一天才剛剛開始，在海邊體驗(yàn)到的一切已經(jīng)成為了難忘的回憶。

One cannot miss the experience of snorkeling right after watching sunrise on the sandbank. Wake up before the dawn and leave the suite with snorkeling equipment on your back. The sky is becoming brighter and tide is just rising. Walk towards the east along the beach to the eastern tip of the main island， you will see a white sandbank stretching into the sea facing the sunrise.

Little crabs running fast on the sandbank as you go forward and sea tides slowly coming ashore. Suddenly the horizon is brightening up and sunshine breaks through and reflects upon the sea surface. Couple walk forward together along the sandbank， their back forming a beautiful picture in the distance.

Don't need to go snorkeling with a group of people on a boat like boiling dumplings. After the sunrise， just put on your life jacket and mask （better without the fins） and you can walk directly into the sea at south of the sandbank. Swim through a rich cluster of corals at the lagoon and there appears the house reef where the sea bed forming a big slope slipping into the deep water. The most vibrant underwater world with all kinds of fish appears in front of you when snorkeling along the house reef.

Seen from the sea surface， the position of the house reef is so close to the sandbank， making it the world's best snorkeling spot. Besides， the sea current is always flowing towards the beach sending the divers ashore， immensely increasing the level of safety.

It's right about time to enjoy a rich breakfast in Ufaa restaurant after snorkeling. A brand new day is just beginning and everything you experienced by the sandbank has become unforgettable memory.
