Best Snorkeling Spots

There are so many great places to go snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of Eastern North Carolina. Be sure to pack your flippers with the rest of year gear, load up and check out some of these amazing places today. 

The first place I love to go snorkeling at Cape Lookout. You can get here by boat and if you don't have one you can take the ferry out. It is about a 45 minute ferry ride. You can catch the ferry on main street in Beaufort, NC. When you get to the island you will want to go to the east side of the island known as the hook. The hook is the best place to go because there are always less people here and more coral reefs. 


My other top pick of places to go snorkel at is off the shoals. Past the cape is Shark Island. If you continue to the shoals there is amazing snorkeling here. The best way to do it is the anchor out about a mile for the shoal shores. Here, there is lots to snorkel around. There were old abandoned ship wrecks years ago that are now buried in the deep blue with exotic aquatic inhabitants.
