Ninety seconds on Spanish Point Park
Two things go in your bag for this park, a mask and lunch: the coves are good snorkelling, and the lawns under the pines are shaded for a picnic. It is a short bus ride from Hamilton.
From its far end, the park looks west up the Great Sound to Dockyard, and on some days a cruise ship comes in through the channel. Walk out there first.
Stovell Bay, by the car park, is a small mooring full of fishing boats and dinghies. The rusted iron at its mouth is the old floating dock, known locally as Pontoons, and a plaque at the park entrance tells its story.
The better snorkelling is in the shallow, calm coves on the north shore side, among the rocks and islets.
