About Cowboy Reef

A colourful reef flat on the southwestern side of the island with impressive stands of pillar coral and meandering channels between coral heads. Jawfish burrows dot the sandy patches, and queen triggerfish are commonly seen foraging on the bottom. The site is sheltered from prevailing swells, making it an excellent choice on rougher days.
