Snorkeling

Is there any beach snorkeling that is walkable or a short ride from cruise port.We will be cruising on the Carnival Panorama.

It would helpful if you name your ports.

 

That being said, snorkeling the Mexican Rivera, particularly close to the ports, is not all that good. Visibility can definitely be a factor. Having snorkeled many locations, I can't recommend the Mexican Rivera ports.

The ports are Cabo, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan.  No good beach snorkeling.  Sorry, but you’ll need to take an excursion boat.

Today we snorkeled at Santa Maria Beach, about 8 miles from Cabo.  The snorkeling there was very good.  Since cabs are apparently very pricey, we figured out how to take the bus for $2 each one way.  Uber might be an option if you have data.  According to a local we spoke with, it's the best snorkeling close to Cabo.  Another couple on our ship was very pleased with snorkeling at Pelican Rock, accessible from one of the glass bottom boat tours.
