I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience in the clear waters of the Florida panhandle.

Many visitors to Florida beaches enjoy snorkeling and are looking for a good snorkeling spot close to where they’ll be staying. Lots of Florida residents are always on the lookout for a new place to put their face in the water as well.

So I’ve compiled some really helpful information for those looking for a snorkeling beach in Florida.

I’ve started out with 14 of the most popular and easiest snorkeling spots to access right from the beach. I’ve created a web page for each spot, including photos, video, Google maps, descriptions and helpful links to more information about each spot.
