The waters flanking Bird Island are quite shallow and are a fantastic site for snorkeling and swimming. Nearby, the village of Placencia offers those who wish to re-join civilization, a chance to do so. This village is known for its alluring beaches which attract lots of visitors. Because of this, a variety of restaurants have set up shop on the peninsula offering an array of mouth-watering dishes which you ought to try out. Looking for a place to stay?
