Hawksbill Reef is a stunning coral reef that stretches nearly a mile parallel to the shoreline of North Bimini. Of course, the main star here is, the hawksbill turtle, the namesake of this reef. However, divers would need some luck to spot hawksbill turtles on the reef, because they are rarely seen there. The absence of hawksbill turtles won’t disappoint divers though, because there will still be an abundance of marine life, from the tiniest reef fish to big species like dolphins, eagle rays, and even reef sharks or nurse sharks. The Hawksbill Reef offers a pleasant dive at medium depths.
