I don't know what your definition of "excellent" is, but this place is pretty good:

Florida is a big state with some 2,300 miles of tidal coastline and along that coastline there are some decent areas to snorkel and you'll find lots of places in the Florida Keys, many areas accessible only by boat. If you do a google search for "Florida Snorkeling" you'll find plenty of links that will tell you where to find "the best".

You might want to look at Lauderdale-By-The-Sea which on the Atlantic coast. They have a snorkel trail. Here's a description:
"Known as the “Diving Capital of South Florida,” Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is famous for the coral reef that is only 100 yards away from the beach, attracting a flood of tourists every year. There is also a snorkel trail along an artificial reef that is 12- to 14-feet deep. The city is an ideal vacation spot, filled with motels, hotels, restaurants and a fishing pier. The city is 5 miles from four museums. It is also just up the beach from Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and a short drive from John U. Lloyd Beach State Recreation Area."
