Best Snorkeling Spot in Orange Beach Alabama!

Published 2020-02-27
Are you looking for the best snorkeling spot in Orange Beach Alabama? When it comes to snorkeling in Orange Beach you just can't do better than the rock jetty off of Alabama Point. It has the most abundant sea life for the area and great snorkeling. On our way to the jetty, we passed a barge carrying materials for three new snorkeling reefs being installed in Orange Beach (more info below). It looks like the new Orange Beach snorkeling reefs will be giving the rock jetty some competition!

⚠️ CAUTION! ⚠️
Strong Water Currents. Please follow all Alabama water safety and snorkeling rules and regulations

    Years ago before they decided to put the chain link barriers on the sides of that bridge it was a great place for high diving. The current can really whip through there. I'd pile out of the truck with a few others, truck would take off, check for boat traffic, dive, swim to shore, jump back in the truck and do it again....All day. Go eat a huge dinner, sleep like the dead, and do it again the next day. It was fun being a kid back then. I didn't have to wear a helmet to ride a bike, none of us needed constant adult supervision, cell phones didn't exist, history teachers were all WW2 vets, I'm just glad that I was born when I was. I feel sorry for most of the young people today. There are just too many restrictions put on them.

    Great video my friend. My condo is booked for PCB over Memorial Day week.

    Great video! Our place is there to the west at Grand Point!
  • @cayogator
    @3:50 a Stone Crab? I didn't know they got that far North ? Nice Vid! We come up there for Reds in Fall....
  • @dipologtom8261
    Good vid...pay to park now !!! Was there this AM...in coming tide !!
  • Be very careful swimming in those waters. I’ve grown up surfing there and I strongly advise checking tide charts and weather report before going. And there’s some really big sharks in there 😎
  • what’s some fun things to do down here while on vacation. what are the best beaches etc.
  • about a 1/2 hour before the tide comes in the area is great, gets abit clearer. Ive noticed very few sharks in the 20 years ive been diving snorkeling the pass, usually more at night with an out going tide.The other jetty isnt bad either. I wish thy'd fix the jetty, its silted in so much over the years since the rocks washed out.
  • The Toneman was really helpful giving me advice on this location in the video. I loaded up the kayak and my son and I headed out. Unfortunately, we learned that this access area is now closed and there are barricades with no trespassing signs. We scooped out the area and came back the next day with our snorkel gear and no kayak. We were able to swim from the point on the beach.... we did take life jackets and assessed the tide weather before going out... there are plenty of signs to use caution on the beach... although none that say you shouldn’t swim.
  • What douchebag would give this cool beautiful video a thumbs down? Great clear footage, thank you for posting! Gods beautiful sea creatures so cute!!

  • @brandonlee7895
    Are either of the jetties better than the other as far as being able to see the most marine life while snorkeling?
  • @troybrown5649

  • @graham_s059
