Best of Both Worlds - Beach and Snorkel

[lcookie]

Looking for a spot that all of my crew can enjoy during our beach day. I want to snorkel while the little one wants a good sandy beach. Mama just wants to relax in the shade so she is covered regardless. Any advice on which beach club would be best for our situation?

Money Bar has the best snorkeling from the beach. But the beach floor is rocky and the beach itself is small and man made.

 

Some folks say Sky Reef is a good option but I've never been there.

 

The other good option that should satisfy all the family is the go to Chankanaab and at the water turn right and walk to the northern end of the property. Beach, sand, shade, snorkel. Last place on west side where reef comes close to shore. Downside is admission fee. But there are many other things to do there that aren't available at other clubs.

Chank is a good option, as mentioned above, for both beach and separate snorkel area (plus dolphins, pool, etc.), but the admission fee is about $20 per adult.

 

You could stop at the Money Bar for an hour or two of snorkel time plus some snacks and drinks, and then head to Paradise Beach for the rest of the day. MB offers good snorkeling from the shore, no real beach, good facilities, lockers, gear rental, etc. with no admission fee, PB offers a nice beach, good facilities, good food, drink, & service and a HUGE pool. Mitsugirly hit both MB and PB in one day and has a photo intensive review linked in her signature - check it out! ;)

Chankanaab was my first spot but was looking for something cozier. Think the decision has been made. Thanks for the help.
