Beaches for snorkeling?

Hello!

This will be our first time in Grand Turk. We're really excited about it! We are currently booked with White Sands to do their three stop combo tour but (please don't think I'm ridiculous...) I had a bad dream and am thinking of canceling. Are there beaches you can walk to from where the ships dock? Where's the good snorkeling? I really wanted to snorkeling with the stingrays, but can you do this without the charter??

Thank you for any information!

Sam :D

I guess maybe I should mention we're arriving on the Emerald Princess January 21st. Thanks!!

The ship docks literally a couple of hundred yards from the beach. We went with White Sands on the 3 stop combo in February. There were 2 snorkelling stops which everyone enjoyed but you don't snorkel where the sting rays are. They take you to a deserted beach where the sting rays come in. The guides dive for conch which encourages the rays to the shore and where you can touch them. Have a look at their website and there is a link to a photo gallery. It was a great tour!

You can see from this photo how close ship docks to beach (not me in the photo by the way!)
