About this site
Virgins Cove lies off Anse-la-Raye on Saint Lucia's Caribbean-facing coastline, on the island's leeward side, and is typically reached by boat from the nearby town. It is a shallow reef dive with a maximum depth of around 10 metres, rated as a beginner site over reef bottom. Barracuda are a regular sight here, and divers have also reported Atlantic blue tang, sergeant majors, bluehead wrasse, ocean surgeonfish, smooth trunkfish, trumpetfish, snapper, sea turtles, seahorses, and Sally Lightfoot crabs along the reef.
