Help for novice snorkelers St. Maarten, St. Lucia, St Kitts

[Havi2000]

Could someone advise as to the best snorkeling from shore for beginning snorkelers? We will visit St. Maarten, St. Lucia & St. Kitts. This will be a first time for 3 in our group aged 60, 61 & 74. Is there anywhere that might be comparable to Coki beach, STT? Also looking for guidance on the most beautiful beaches here as well. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I have only been to St. Lucia, and we stayed at the Jalousie Plantation. It had a beautiful, uncrowded beach, in between the pitons (volcanoes). The snorkeling right off the beach was fantastic, because you are snorkeling right on the side of one of the pitons. Hope this helps.
