On your snorkeling adventure, explore the ancient shipwreck of The Whiskey Wreck teaming with marine life and located just beyond the sand bar. The wreck is a 200-foot, Spanish rum runner sunk in 1920 in 15-25 foot water.

Discover an abundance of marine life at the Paddle Wheeler. This shallow water site is west of Lagoon Pass and provides an interesting hideaway for underwater creatures which are begging to be discovered.

Explore fun, whimsical statues including Poseidon, Venus of the Sea and Apollo at Poseidon's Playground (established in December 2014). At only 40 feet deep, it is perfect for snorkelers, and is just three miles south of Perdido Pass and the Gulf State Park Pier. In 2015 the Reefs of Fame was introduced when the movie "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" was filmed in our destination. The reef includes handprints of actors Nicholas Cage and Cody Walker (brother of the late Paul Walker), as well as director Mario Van Peebles. Stay tuned for more celebrity handprints coming soon.

Closer to shore, check out the rocky jetties at Alabama Point in Orange Beach for excellent snorkeling visibility of up to 25 feet during ideal tide and weather conditions. You’ll see plenty of crabs and marine life near the rocks especially if you snorkle an hour or more before the peak of an incoming tide.
