Snorkeling From The Shores Of Loreto Bay

You can see some really cool fish right outside the hotel. Tons and tons of fish. Be sure to bring your own snorkel gear! The water should be above 80 degrees between May and November.

Where Is The Great Snorkeling In Loreto Bay?

To get to the best snorkeling in Loreto Bay, just head to Nopolo rock. It starts out pretty shallow and then around the point turns into a deeper shelf-wall (20 ft.).

Mornings are best to snorkel, since the wind is light or nonexistent. Just walk out until you are waist deep, put you snorkel gear and and go. As you make the turn around Nopolo rock, it becomes deeper. You can continue around the point, to the other side. In the afternoons the "other side" has a bit more waves/current so the visibility goes down.
