George Town: Any snorkeling right from a beach?

[CruiseyMcBoatFace]

Hi, all. I'm visiting in October and would love to snorkel with my mother, but she's not able to get in and out of the water on a boat ladder. Wondering if there are beaches that have good walk-in/walk-out access to snorkeling sites. Thanks.

Cemetery beach. Take a cab or the bus. Absolutely zero facilities. No restroom.  No food.  No drinks.  Just very good snorkeling. The reef is a short swim out.  There is plenty of shade.  Take water.

While we were there on a boat, there were shore snorkelers at the Wreck of the Cali. We also went to Cheeseburger Reef, which was further out from shore, but still accessible with a bit of a swim. 

 

Eden Rock has stairs to the water, so I would imagine it would be as difficult as a boat ladder.

Smith's Cove

 

away from town so seldom a crowd

 

a few picnic tables, plenty of shade trees, a simple bath house and rest rooms.  No rentals or food bring your own water ... and snorkel gear; occasionally a drive by ice cream guy!

 

If wind/seas are out of the west it is probably NOT a good place ... this is most common in the late winter & spring ... same conditions that can make tendering difficult
