So-Cal best spot for kid's first time snorkeling?
permalink
Hi all,

I want to find a nice low stress spot to take my daughter snorkeling for the first time. She's 6 year old and is a pretty good swimmer, having just finished another set of swim lessons. I have her equipped with a US Divers mask/snorkel/fins set and she has a life preserver. I will get her a wetsuit as well.

We have reservations for a couple nights in Catalina next month. I'll get her familiar with the snorkel & mask at the pool, but before going to Catalina I want to find a good spot for the first salt water experience. Preferably calm & somewhat clear.

I'm in Long Beach, so closer is better than farther. Are any of the spots around Laguna especially calm? I'd rather not take her to the nasty water in one of the small boat harbors, although the water is quite calm- like the public beach in Long Beach Marina.


Jim
