AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Ambergris Caye Question(s) about snorkeling

Hello: My name's John. I plan to spend a week in
San Pedro with snorkeling being my main interest.
But I'm not a group or tour type.
What the best hotel(s) where I can just walk out into the water, swim a little and be into some
good visuals.

I'm an avid, experienced snorkeler.

Thanks

John

The reef is between 1/4 and 1/2 mile offshore. That is where the good visuals are.
Swimming to the reef will put you in boating lanes and that is deadly.
If you want to do your own thing, recommend that you stay someplace that is close to reef and has kayaks for guest use. You can paddle to the reef, tie off at a bouy and snorkel.
In the interest of safety tho, it is always recommended that you have a buddy with you.
Places that have kayaks and nearby good snorkel spots - El Pescador, Belizean Shores, Journey's End, Calm Caye Villa and Villa Del Sol.
