We stopped here twice because the snorkeling is amazing. There are a ton of fish, especially near the rock itself that is just off shore. There were a number of people climbing Pelican Rock and jum…Full review by tinaNtravel

Way to crowded with boats but here at land’s end, it is definitely a must see. Very pleasant and only a short boat ride from the marina.Full review by TAMAN1951

You need to get on a boat. I did a boat tour which is a good idea. Great to see. It can become noisy and congested with all the boats! Full review by Ahat21
Do you know if once we are done snorkeling at Pelican, if we would be able to get a water taxi to Medano Beach. Also, would Pelican Rock be ok for a 9 year old who has never snorkeled, but is a good swimmer. Thank you so much.
A:
I don't snorkel so I can't help you with that.... As for a water taxi, they are plentiful & can be picked up at the beach.
I'm planning to take my 5.5 years old kid. But I'm super scared of water. How deep is the water where you snorkel ?

The most important point of going into the Ocean 'everywhere/anywhere' FROM A BOAT- if you are a Non-Swimmer and afraid of the water- DON'T DO IT! there are plenty of safe walk-in-the Ocean places and pools if you want the cooling feeling of water, practice with snorkel gear until you become comfortable, because Snorkeling with the fish is a Terrific experience- and it does NOT need deep water-
One more question - water temp???? Is it too cold -too rough to snorkel ?
A:
Water temp is beautiful - not too rough. Snorkeling here is great- very popular spot BUT ... there were a TON of jellyfish in the area. That was not awesome. May have been seasonal. …
Water temp is beautiful - not too rough. Snorkeling here is great- very popular spot BUT ... there were a TON of jellyfish in the area. That was not awesome. May have been seasonal. May have just been that area. We did not encounter jellyfish in other snorkel areas. Chileno Beach was beautiful for snorkeling.
Hi we tried to snorkel chileno yesterday morning. It was too rough . Heard from another couple that they had tried 3x & ran into same problem. Staff told us it will be rough the next few weeks. They were just putting red flag up at 9:00 am " Is pelican rock snorkel-able this time of year . don't want to pay for an excursion & not have a good experience .

Hi Joaner1.... you may want to try, but to be honest not the best place...water can be a bit murky and there is too much boat traffic at that point... if driving is not a restriction, may I suggest Cabo Pulmo? This is a longer drive away, but for snorkeling it is one of the best spots in Southern Baja. It is a protected Reef sanctuary and the place is gorgeous... if driving is not an option, I would charter a small panga to take you to other remote locations with better snorkeling than pelican rock... that is a 10 minute boat ride west or east of the arch and there are great spots there. I normally use a charter called Sushi time. Prices are fair and service is great. Hope this helps and you have a great time. ENJOY!
Do any of the water taxis or boats have easy access for a older person? Any umbrellas on the beach?
A:
Yes. There are different type of charters. Although Taxis are shared normally, there are also small pangas that can be rented for a period of time with ease of access. Make sure to …
Yes. There are different type of charters. Although Taxis are shared normally, there are also small pangas that can be rented for a period of time with ease of access. Make sure to choose a good and reputable company. I always go with Sushi time. They are courteous and will accomodate as much as possible to garantee you and your party a good time.
