Common questions

Can you snorkel straight from the beach in Mexico?

At some of these, yes. How far out the interesting part starts varies by beach, and some of the best spots are only reached by boat. Ask a local dive shop or the beach club before you swim out, and stay clear of boat lanes.

What will I see snorkeling in Mexico?

Whatever the listing and its reviews mention: reef, tropical fish, sometimes turtles or rays. Nothing is guaranteed, and visibility drops after wind or rain.

Which sunscreen should I use for snorkeling?

Reef-safe mineral sunscreen, or better, a rash guard. Some parks and protected areas ask you to skip sunscreen altogether or allow only biodegradable kinds, so follow the rules posted where you get in.
