“Everyone loves to fly, and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.” - Graham Hawkes
 
The dazzling and the colorful underwater life in the warm and clear waters of Cabo San Lucas is an awesome recipe for a perfect day! The Sea of Cortez provides for a great spot for snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas.

The water harbors more than 800 species of vivid kind of fish. Then you have thousands of shellfish, snails, and octopuses. Many of these creatures are endemic. This means you can find them here and only here! That is why the Sea of Cortez is a snorkeler's paradise.

However, just like in treasure hunting on an island with lots of hidden gold, you need to know where to go; snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas requires knowing the best spots for the activity.

All bays and beaches on the coast of Cabo are not equal. There are some that would bore you in no time. There are others that would not be safe for the snorkelers. Currents, waves, surges, and tides can rule out an area. For instance, the Medano Beach of Cabo San Lucas Bay is the best place for swimming but not for snorkelling. Fish do not find any food and shelter here as the place does not have any reefs.

A great snorkeling site has two main characteristics. These include calm and clear waters for the people. The other is rocky reefs and rich waters for fish and other marine creatures. In the expeditions to Cabo, the best snorkeling sites include Chileno Bay and Santa Maria Cove.

These are the places where you can spot magnificent creatures in Baja's Sea of Cortez. You can find rich plankton blooms that are feeding and sheltering the sea creatures ranging in their size from microscopic to huge. So, blue whales, red shrimp-like krills can be found here.

The place has become known as the ‘Vermillion Sea’ due to the characteristic colour. Sea of Cortez is ranked as the number 6 place of the world’s 18 places in terms of rich biodiversity.
