Salt Pond Bay is usually calm and clear with a nice shallow reef on the left (east). Hawksnest and Trunk are both easy snorkles as well, but can get rough in the winter or following an east-coast storm. Trunk has lifeguards between 10 and 4. Despite the disdain of some of those who like quieter beaches, Trunk is the most beautiful beach with some of the best snorkeling on the island.

peace.... bert

Gizzmo - I think Maho off to the right if you're looking out is easy and I also think Cinnamon off to the right on the Maho side is easy as well.

No worries, it's like riding a bike, you'll be fine.

I agree about Maho, or even Francis, both are so calm and easy to access.

Another good choice would be Gibney, very sandy entry, and if you go to the right and around the rocks you will find interesting coral and lots of fish in not so deep water.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

I'd hit Maho too. It's one of the best beaches for acclimating to island time as well.
