About this site
West View is a coastal snorkelling spot on San Andrés, reached from the shore by natural steps that lead into the water.
The water runs from the surface down to 6 metres, so the coral can be seen from the top. The coral formations are striking, and reef fish move among them. It is described as best for snorkelers with some experience, and it is one of the places on the island where entering from the shore is possible without a boat.
