Haulover (north side)
Can be a little rough getting in the water there, but it's worth the effort.

Little Lamshur or Waterlemon depending on the wind.

It's really hard to pick just one! I would say Waterlemon, especially if I could magically have the place to myself. I hate watching people stand on the coral.

Close runner up would be to snorkel from Scott Beach, around Cottage Point, and along the right side of Caneel Bay. Lots of fish and turtles in that swim.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Trunk Bay.

Lots of large, slow moving, brightly colored things in the water.

Tom - Everytime you say that, or mention Laurie, my heart goes out to you and I just want to cry. I thought of you during our time there last week.

Best,

I agree with Liamsaunt. I was amazed by the snorkeling on the right side of Caneel last week. We saw a Spotted Eagle Ray, Porcupine fish, turtles, a Spotted Drum, and all of the other usual suspects. It was really great - as good as Waterlemon and easier to get to!
