The two bays are somewhat different....even in color of water. We had Magen Bay almost to ourselves as we were there in the morning. It began getting crowded around noon. If you want to snorkel you would probably be better off going over to Trunk Bay - watch out for the undercurrent. Both are just gorgeous. Coral World was better than I expected. I wasn't impressed with their "main attraction" - which is the observation windows built out in the reef - although the view from above was spectacular. Everything else was great. Hearing the Nurse sharks eat was like hearing a baby ship's toilet ... the sound of the sucking vacuum was incredible. There was a petting area...for sea creatures...but for the most part I'd consider it a fairly decent aquarium. If you and your son enjoy visiting aquariums then I'd suggest visiting Coral World and there is a public beach next door.

[QUOTE="SandyBeach, post: 801345"] The two bays are somewhat different....even in color of water. We had Magen Bay almost to ourselves as we were there in the morning. It began getting crowded around noon. If you want to snorkel you would probably be better off going over to Trunk Bay - watch out for the undercurrent. Both are just gorgeous. Coral World was better than I expected. I wasn't impressed with their "main attraction" - which is the observation windows built out in the reef - although the view from above was spectacular. Everything else was great. Hearing the Nurse sharks eat was like hearing a baby ship's toilet ... the sound of the sucking vacuum was incredible.
