Which Caribbean island has the best snorkeling from shore?

Bonaire has the best snorkeling from shore in the Caribbean. The entire leeward coast is a marine park with reef accessible from beach entries — drive the coastal road, park, and walk straight into 30-60 feet of visibility, healthy hard coral, and schools of parrotfish, blue tangs, and the occasional turtle. In the BVI specifically, the best shore snorkels are Smuggler’s Cove on Tortola, Loblolly Beach on Anegada, and the southern beaches of Norman Island. For most yacht charters, shore snorkeling matters less than boat-based snorkeling, since the yacht is the platform — boat-access sites like The Indians and Privateer Bay outclass anything reachable from a beach.
