Snorkeling and Pelican Watching.
Camped out on the south side of the bay, pelicans are continually diving
in the area in front of Da Wedding. The reason is a snorkeler's dream--a vast
school of sprats, a small fish that never gets larger than a few inches long.
Snorkel here a bit and soon the fish all around you dart in unison from
side to side.
