Review:
The Folkestone Marine Park & Museum boasts an artificial reef formed by the Stavronikita, a sinking ship which lies 120 feet underwater just under a half-mile offshore.
Due to the depth, it’s recommended that only experienced divers venture out, and then only with the company of a local divemaster. Snorkelers can explore the Recreational Zone of the park, a reef about one-third mile offshore where marine life can be found such as sea lilies, sponges, and sea anemones. Additional recreational watersports are also offered at the park, including paddle-boarding and canoeing. The museum section is an interpretation center featuring an aquarium and photographic exhibit.
