Cabo Snorkeling \u2013 best spots<\/h2>\n

Wondering about the best Cabo snorkeling spots?  If you\u2019re looking to avoid tourist crowds, head to the shimmering sands of Santa Maria, favored for its stunning rock outcroppings and tranquil setting on the Sea of Cortez. This local snorkeling hotspot is a quick 10-minute jaunt from Cabo San Lucas. When the winds kick up, the waves inside of this usually calm bay can get a bit choppy, so exercise caution if you\u2019re snorkeling with younger children. Keep an eye out for sea urchins, trigger fish and cowfish.<\/p>\n

Another prime snorkeling location requiring minimal travel time is Chileno Bay, which is tucked in the coastal corridor connecting Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. You can snorkel right from the beach, and if you have kids in tow, make sure to hit the tide pools, which are brimming with colorful sea life.<\/p>\n

The Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park is often rated the best area for snorkeling in Baja California Sur. Located roughly 60 miles north of Los Cabos, and accessible by boat or 4X4, this marine reserve cradles one of three living coral reefs in all of North America. Bring an underwater camera to document an amazing day of marine explorations, where you\u2019ll have chances to swim with sea turtles, sea lions and massive schools of bright, tropical fish. Marine fauna include more than 226 reef species, hawksbill and leatherback sea turtles, manta rays, as well as bottlenose dolphin and migrating whales.
