zitsky Posted February 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I will be there Dec 18. My partner and I tend to get a little seasick if the ocean is rough. We've been on catamarans and other boats. It just depends on conditions. I am wondering if there is a beach we can go to where I could sit and read and he could snorkel? Or do you really need the catamaran to get to the best snorkel places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean2000 Posted February 25, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Do a search of threads on this board about snorkeling on SXM. You will find many threads, I've answered a few. We are avid snorkelers and have visited SXM many times, stayed on the island for a week a couple years ago. Compared to other islands in the Caribbean the near shore snorkeling is poor off this island. It never was great but the hurricanes a couple years ago decimated the few reefs that are close to shore, making it even worse. There are plenty of beautiful sandy beaches of course. We've taken a couple boat snorkeling excursions (privately booked) and they were OK, at best. You may spot a few fish along the rocks at the end of the beach at Little Divi resort and some people claim to have seen a little off Pinel but we found the snorkeling poor there (but we love Pinel for other reasons and will return there in a couple weeks). Believe me, we have looked hard for decent snorkeling off SXM but if there is any, we've never found it. Sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
