Q: Hi. I have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to snorkel in Florida. I'll have a weekend free while on a business trip to Orlando. What inland snorkeling areas and coastal snorkeling areas near Orlando would you recommend? Thanks -- Bill Balvanz
A: Lucky you. Well, Bill, closest to Orlando is Wekiwa Spring State Park in Apopka, where a natural spring attracts quite a few snorkelers. And Canaveral National Seashore in New Smyrna Beach and in Titusville offers beautiful beaches on the Atlantic Ocean where you could get wet.
For more places to snorkel, please see previous Q&As on snorkeling (under "Water Sports" below) and our page on snorkeling and scuba diving in Florida.
