Cruise Ship Snorkeling - San Juan, Puerto Rico, Escambron Beach
What are the best Cruise Ports to snorkel at? Can you find good snorkeling in a city as big as San Juan?
I visited a Place called Escambron Beach, Right in the heart of San Juan. It was about a 10-minute Uber ride from the cruise port. The Uber ride only cost 10 dollars.
Escambron Beach has a lot to offer. I was a little worried when we first got there that it wouldn't have any great spots because it seemed too metropolitan, but the facilities were actually a nice addition, with great bathrooms, and food and drinks.
The snorkeling was great and a must-do for all snorkelers, there were lots of areas to explore and a lot of life all throughout the areas. I will be back!
In my opinion, everyone who loves to snorkel, beginners and advanced, can enjoy snorkeling in San Juan

Love Escambron Beach! 😃It was my childhood beach when I lived in P.R. Never snorkeled there, but I can't wait to do so w my hubby next time we visit the island! 😁 Hint: If you feel adventurous, you can catch one of the public buses 1-2 blocks from the cruise port (near Parque Colon / Columbus Park) for less than $2 pp and it will drop you off Luis Muñoz Rivera park that's across from the beach. It's not a long walk thru the park, to cross the street, to get to the beach. And the park is very pretty too! 😉

That’s great to know, I would love to try that, we do love a good adventure, lol
We just got back from Half Moon Cay, Amber Cove, and Grand Turk 2 weeks ago on Carnival Magic. In September 2023 we took a short 4 day on Liberty to Nassau (will never go back) and Princess Cays. We just booked Carnival Celebration for February 2025 going to San Juan, St. Thomas, and back to Amber Cove. I did a 7 day back in 2001 and we went to St. Thomas, St. Croix, and San Juan. I’ve always wanted to go back to San Juan and St. Thomas. My wife’s first cruise was on our Liberty cruise. She loves cruising now. Did I hear that right? Did you say it’s only $50 to rent a car for the day?!!!

Yes, it was dirt cheap, that was with all ad ons, so the actual rental was only 30 for the day. I think we spent 10 for the Ubers to get to the car rental place. The parking in old San Juan is tough sometimes but it was amazing to just go where we wanted to go

@@Snorktastic wow!! It was $140 for the day in Grand Turk, but we didn’t do that. We originally wanted to rent a golf cart because my friends had just been in GT the week before us and that’s what they did. Unfortunately Mardi Gras got to port an hour before us so all the golf carts were gone. The main reason we didn’t get the car was, there are trails you can take the golf carts through to get to other beaches and you can’t do that with the car. Hell, the golf carts are $120 in GT 🤦🏻♂️
What are the names of all your spots?

This spot was called Escambron beach, it was right in the heart of old San Juan, so very close to the port. I liked the beach part better than the marine park, but both were fun and safe to explore. Check out my other videos for spots on some of the other ports in the Caribbean
