A professional native tourist guide will pick you up at the hotel and after an informative transfer trip of approximately 25 minutes, you will arrive at the eastern part of the island, on the beach with the natural nursery rifle of the lemon sharks which is a light brown shark, of color of sand in its natural environment. You can choose to stay on the beach and watch the sharks with binoculars or get in the water and watch them closely. These sharks pose no threat to humans. To get into the water you should wear water shoes or crocs to walk on rocky surfaces. It is also possible to rent them on the spot.
The Lemon Shark is medium to large in size and is generally not a threat to people, but can be a danger to other animals in the ocean. Its scientific name is Negaprion Brevirostris. The average length of a Lemon Shark is about 2.5 to 3 meters. Some of the largest lemon sharks measured about 3.4 meters. These sharks grow about 0.50 cm. per annum.
