Folkestone Marine Park

Folkestone Marine Park is a protected dive area off the coast, featuring relatively calm, shallow conditions suitable for recreational diving. The site is dominated by sandy bottoms with patches of seagrass and scattered rocks, creating gentle drop-offs and easy entries from nearby shoreline piers. Visibility is typically moderate and water is warm to temperate, with marine life common to coastal Caribbean/Atlantic shelf habitats, including juvenile reef fishes, small snappers, grunts, parrotfish, and occasional pairings of larger species near structure. The site is accessed from the town of Speightstown and is within easy reach from nearby Hurtan/Retreat coastal zones via short boat or shore transfers. It suits beginner to intermediate divers looking for relaxed dives with low current and straightforward navigation.
