Walk in snorkeling

[Best of]

Hi,
Here is my situation. We are going out in late Jan. 2010. The 3 ports we are stopping at are Colon, Panama; Limon Costa Rica; and Belize. My husband wants to snorkel, but not by boat. He likes to be able to walk in and out of the water. Which of the above places have good walk in snorkeling and WHERE is it at. I do not want to plan my other shore trips until we know which port will be our beach day. Thanks for any and all information.

I think you will have better luck with walk-in snorkling in Belize.

None of those ports have much in the way of walk-in snorkeling.

We took a private tour to a beach in Colon, but it was a stromy day and the water was not clear so the snorkeling was lousy.

In Belize you have to either take a boat to go snorkeling or a water taxi to one of the Cays (I forget which, check the Belize board.) However, I was not impressed by the snorkeling off the beach there either.

You can walk in at Geoff's Caye in Belize...but it was only ok. NOt the best, not the worst I've done.

I was going to suggest Goff's Caye as well. And for (from shore) snorkeling, it's not too bad!
