📖 About
Among the fjord coast's pocket coves, the crescent locals call Half Moon earns its whispers: a shingle-and-sand arc walled by cliffs, water running turquoise-to-navy in metres, and no approach except over the side of a boat.
Charters add it as a swim stop on request — a quieter counterpoint to Telegraph Island's traffic — and its cliff shade makes it the rare Gulf beach with afternoon mercy. Bring the snorkel; the rock fringes reward it.
⭐ Highlights
- Boat-only crescent cove
- Cliff walls and instant-deep turquoise
- Afternoon shade — a Gulf rarity
- Snorkel fringes off the rocks
💡 Insider Tips
- Request it explicitly when arranging charters.
- Shingle underfoot — water shoes again.
- Combine with Seebi for a two-cove custom day.
