Snorkeling

[boobear1]

Are there any good snorkeling options around 7 mile beach that you can recommend?  Is snorkeling good at any of the beaches?  Previously we always went to Calico Jacks, but I've found they are no longer there.  Looking for new options.  All adults in our party of 6 and we love the water.

The only beach club left is Coral Beach - https://coralbeach.ky

The spot where you went before still exists, there’s just no Calico Jacks there anymore.  It’s Public Beach, with the nearby Kimpton Seafire hotel having one of its beach restaurants near the former CJ spot.  See the various threads on Public Beach for more info.

 

However, the best snorkelling is usually at spots that don’t have great beach.

exactly!

 

7 mile's big draw is a sandy bottom for quite a distance out from shore which does not make for exciting snorkeling.  I go the other direction from town and go to Eden Rock or Sunset House. Here the coral runs right up to the shore line but there's no beach and it is 'big boy pants' snorkeling ... you will not find anyplace to stand up . . .

 

you can see what I'm talking about in the shot of Sunset House. When you get in at the sea wall the reef fingers are right there
