I was trying to find some new spots a while ago but there isn't a ton of info online so it's a lot of trial and error which gets discouraging quickly

WHERE TO SNORKLE

 

La Jolla Cove:

 

You'll find some of the best snorkeling in the world at La Jolla Cove, part of the 6,000-acre La Jolla Underwater Park and Ecological Reserve that stretches to Torrey Pines State Reserve. The park is filled with underwater kelp forests, deep canyons, sandy plains and plentiful sea life. On a day with flat, calm water with little surge or surf, La Jolla Cove is a gem. Once past the first 20 yards of surf and eel grasses, the underwater animal life is remarkable, with alien-looking creatures. Sheep crab up to 2 feet in diameter look like lunar landing modules.

 

Devil's Slide and the Sea Lion Caves:

 

Located just north of La Jolla Cove, offer pristine waters teeming with life. About 25 yards out from the cliffs are rock outcroppings in 15 to 20 feet of water. In and around the rock niches, you'll see bat rays, shovel-nose guitarfish and thousands of spiny lobsters. It's not unusual to see web-footed cormorants swimming 15 feet underwater, looking for anchovies and top smelt, that travel in schools of up to 10,000, which the large black sea birds scoop up in their hooked beaks. Leopard and horn sharks up to 6 feet in length are common in the area, and are relatively harmless.

 

La Jolla Shores:

 

The best snorkeling off La Jolla Shores can be found south of the Marine Room restaurant and north of the pier. Here you’ll see sandy bottom dwellers like halibut and flounder, stingrays and huge yards of sand dollars, which bury themselves perpendicular in the sand. It's important to remember this area is an ecological preserve, and it is illegal to harass or take any animal or plant. Even if a shell looks empty, other animals may inhabit it."

 

Shell Beach and Boomers Beach:

 

Just south of La Jolla Cove, both Boomers and Shell beaches big bottom rocks and offer great snorkeling for advanced swimmers, who can negotiate the stronger underwater surge and higher surf.

 

Mission Bay:

 

One of the best places to snorkel in San Diego is also one of the least known. At Mission Point Beach (at the south end of Mission Boulevard), the snorkeling is remarkable. With no surf and very little surge, the shallow, quiet cove is ideal for novices and younger children. Along the rock jetty here, sometimes in less than 2 feet of water, Garibaldi fish swim among delicate coral plants. The gobs of bright orange, red and pink spaghetti-like strands on rock ledges are the eggs of the slimy black sea hares. Octopuses are common, as are sea cucumbers, spiny lobsters and the plentiful kelp bass, which range from a few inches to 2 feet in length.
