Where is there good snorkeling off the beach?

Answer 1

The best snorkeling can usually be found in and around reefs and walls. Shallow pools along shore where trapped fish and crustesians can be found. Deeper water than where most swimmers can get to will be less disturbed and more interesting.

Beach areas tend to have less visibility as the surf kicks up sand. Also, undersea life tends to stay away from sand as there is little nutrition there, plus the birds overhead can see them better! I will look for a beach that is next to some rocks (as long as there is no strong surf or current!), walk in the water at the beach but head for the rocks.
