wrasse and lost gear..... you found the reef then !

for those that don't know the area, there is a reef close inshore that runs back eastwards along the cove, you can see it in the third photograph here

parking is a bit of a b***** at the Sealife end and we have never done as good for fish that end.... make sure you are past the last building on the other side of the road and you are clear of the reef.
