Not that I was able to find.

You need to go to the Keys or the Bahamas the water around Palm Beach is too churned up. A good place in the Keys in Pennekamp State Park near Key Largo. It's not a bad drive from Palm Beach...

It depends on your standards. Believe it or not, here's the website, complete with detailed descriptions, of a guy who snorkles off Singer Island!

The best area reefs are said to be off of Ft. Lauderdale. There are charters that will take you out.

I haven't tried either of these. Pennekamp is justly famous.

Pro-Dive in Ft Laud. has snorkel trips, check their website.

Don't discount the Palm Beach area yet. I have a number of friends who are avid divers and they really enjoy perusing the waters around here... (There are many Spanish galleons blown in from storms long ago). Here's a local website worth investigating, with narratives and photos: www.sfdj.com (South Florida Dive Journal)

The Keys are quite a drive from Palm Beach....at least 3 hours. My sister likes Red Reef park in Boca Raton and also raves about Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo.

Not really. Just a bunch of rich people who vacation over the winter there. Ft. L. is supposed to have reef but you will be amazed at the wonderful reef at John Pennekamp Park. It is 60 miles south of Miami, so I'd say about 120 miles from Palm Beach. It would be worth the trip. I went on a glass bottom boat and the amount of sea life was amazing. We saw barracuda, shark and many colorful fish while viewing. There are snorkeling trips too and you can rent your own boat.
