Colours is a recognised snorkeling and diving location on the Mid North Coast of NSW, named for the vibrant underwater palette visible in its clear coastal waters. The site features a mix of rocky reef and sandy seabed terrain, offering snorkelers a chance to drift over colourful sponge gardens, rocky outcrops, and patches of kelp. The name reflects the striking array of blues, greens, and golden sand tones that shift with the light and tide throughout the day. A relatively sheltered coastal setting makes this a rewarding spot for those wanting to explore the marine richness of the NSW north coast.
