I didn't come across many coral reefs during my snorkeling experience and the water had low visibility, so I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it to others.

I ended up stopping here to avoid a traffic slowdown and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sunset. It's a great spot to relax and stargaze too!

This is an excellent beach for snorkeling, and it's not crowded at all. However, be cautious when parking off the highway since there isn't a designated parking area.

This beach is ideal for snorkeling as there were hardly any waves. Although the visibility for snorkeling was average, we were able to spot some fish and turtles. The shoreline is rocky with a few sandbars that the children enjoyed. However, the sand can get extremely hot, so it's best to bring something to lay on. Additionally, the trees drop thorns, so it's not advisable to walk barefoot under them. On the other hand, the water temperature was surprisingly warm and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

This beach is an excellent spot for snorkeling! The reef here is one of the oldest in the islands and it's quite impressive in terms of size and the variety of fish you can see. Even out on the reef, the water remains calm and with a bit of luck, you might even spot some turtles.
