snorkeling Dragon Bay, Sculpture Park

[richnorto]

I came across a few tidbits of info about snorkeling around Dragon Bay, Molineire Point and Sculpture Park (the submerged sculptures in Molineire Bay). I was wondering about getting a water taxi to Dragon Bay or Molniere Point and if you can swim/snorkel or walk easily from one to the other. On the map it looks like a thin strip of land separating the two bays (the point I assume is Molinere point which is where the reef is?). Also if anyone has done this, how far out are the sculptures, how far out is the best snorkeling and in which area. This is our first trip to Grenada.

Thanks!

the website for the sculptures is http://www.underwatersculpture.com/ Has anyone heard about these yet? I know they are new, but they look fascinating and I would like to take my family to see them.

At the risk of sounding like I'm talking to myself - I am aren't I?;) I've done some more digging which may help someone give me an educated guess.

It looks/sounds like we will be able to walk to Molineire Bay and snorkel to the sculptures after being dropped off at Dragon Bay. Can we take a water taxi from the dock to Dragon Bay or should we just plan on a regular taxi? Has anyone been there and recognize the area, the point (reef?) and have an idea of how far? Has anybody snorkelled Dragon Bay recently and is there much to see? I read somewhere that the hurricanes have caused a lot of damage to the reef. Thanks for your help/ insight!

As far as I am aware the water taxis only take people to the beach at Grand Anse. You will need to take a regular taxi to get to Moliniere and the drive will probably take 20/30 minutes.
