Nord Department

Haiti

The top part of the reef is heavily covered in purple sea fans.  It drops down via a wall with interesting sponges and soft corals covering it.  One can find lots of arrow crabs, feathery tube worms and brightly colored corals on this reef. 

This site requires hiring a boat from Balan or Piatre ports in Baie de l'Acul (40min boat ride) or a taxi boat from Labadie village Taxi port (40 min boat ride).  The fringing reef is very shallow and may not allow access to the beach at low tide.  

Dive access can be done from the beach at higher tides and requires a bit of a swim to get to the edge of the reef.
