Mermaid Reef is a popular snorkeling destination located near Marsh Harbour on Abaco Island, Bahamas. The clear water and smooth currents make it ideal for beginners and families. The coral reefs are colorful and inhabited by an abundance of tropical fish, sea turtles, green turtles and large green eels, among other marine life. Visitors often bring bread or rice to feed the fish, attracting schools of fish around them as if they were in a natural aquarium. It is an ideal place to get close to nature and experience the underwater world as it is easily accessible from the shore without the need to take a boat.
