Coolcruise02 Posted May 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Has anyone been here? Can you swim to the reef or do you have to do an excursion? How was the snorkeling? How do you pronounce Palancar? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted May 10, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I've been to Playa Palancar (pronounced Pal-an-car) It is a nice, quiet beach at the south end of the west side of the island. I don't think you can swim to the reef, but they do have on-site snorkel trips. I didn't snorkel there, so I can't say what the snorkeling was like from the beach, but snorkeling from a sandy beach is usually disappointing compared to snorkeling from a rocky shoreline. Coral just doesn't grow in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey on Cozumel Posted May 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2005 PAL-an-car. I like this beach, too. But no snorkeling unless you take the $25 boat snorkel trip that goes out to Palancar Reef. That's a good choice if you have people in your group that just want to hang on the beach while you snorkel because its a really nice beach for hanging out and Palancar reef is close enough by that you won't be away half the day or something. But, no, you can't swim out to it. Forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
