This might be your idea of a semicircular sandy strip backed by sea grapes and tropical shrubs , gentle aquamarine surf , a coral reef close to shore , plus some rocks and seaweed for rewarding snorkeling and a view out to some huge pierced rocks ( roches perc ? ? es ) that partly shelter the entrance to the cove .
This might fit the description you are looking for , a gentle surf , coral reef within swimming distance to shore , and rocks and seaweed for snorkling .
