Mini Aquarium

Technically this is a coral farm, but as you’ll see, the tanks where they grow the coral are very well supplied with fish.

P1040491We had a small amount of trouble finding the place, but on the way there we did run across some other fun sights.

P1040503 There are many benefits to getting lost on a small island: 1. it’s impossible to go too far astray because you run into ocean and 2. if/when you do run into the ocean, it may very well be a lovely secluded stretch of beach like this one.

P1040505 On the way back from the same little beach, there was this unusual, evidently Christian, family tomb.

P1040524Ah, now we are getting closer! This picturesque pier was mentioned in the directions we’d been (poorly) following.

P1040531 This is the place!  In case you are wondering, the unusual architecture is meant to resemble pieces of bleached coral, like what you find washed up on many of the beaches here.

P1040534They had LOTS of touch tanks!

P1040547This is part of their big tank where, apparently, most of the growing is done.

P1040555I plunked my handy little underwater camera into the tank and snapped a few shots at random.

They also had an area that descended into the tank so you could take a closer look.

P1040563 Logan and Naomi were fascinated by the view.

P1040601We topped the morning off with ice cream (I haven’t done that quite as much since Naomi was born) and a quick visit to a small nearby play area.

Good smile; happy day!
