crisp1 Posted February 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The beach area to the right as you get off the ship and cross the bridge ( Little Bay ) is marked as a swimming and snorkeling area. Is the snorkeling any good there Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisp1 Posted April 15, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Did you go? Was it good? I didn't snorkel, but saw a bunch who did- water is very calm because of the jetties- and there are life guards posted on the jetties. It's also easier to find lounges in the shade on this side. There are food carts and a pavilion too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro ergo Posted April 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi! I had a WONDERFUL time enjoying the beach day at Princess Cays. I went all the way to the end of the beach to the right as you exit the tenders. I have seen it marked as "Little Bay" on some maps, others note it as "swimming/snorkeling area". There weren't many people at this part of the beach, and as another poster mentioned, there were loungers in the shade! I found the snorkeling good in the morning (high tide), but when I tried to go back in the afternoon the water was too shallow. Pay attention to the tide and I think that will help. I saw some interesting fish, including a flounder while swimming around. It's nothing like some areas I have been too, but it's great for beginners as the water is shallow and calm. Very clear too. Enjoy your visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTdreaming Posted April 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just did this. We walked to left? I believe all the way to the little pier thing.. snorkeling off the beach there was really good. very easy to do and I was amazed and the number and variety of fish we saw right at the end of the pier thing. It was very comfortable and the water was probably never more than 10 feet deep, although it looked like about 2 feet as it was so clear. We did wear snorkel vests (which you are asked to do) rented at the little stand there. I felt very safe and comfortable and am not a strong swimmer and also am no longer young :-) I really enjoyed it and would do it again. This spot was recommended to us by one of the workers in the info area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted April 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Actually more people off to the left when last there. As a spot for regular snorkeling may be disappointing but should be perfect for a couple of youngsters just beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
