Snorkeling Mosquito Pier

           Snorkeling beside Mosquito pier was an awesome experience.  If you go to the pier, hit up the beach to the left of it instead of driving up onto the pier road.  There is a little parking area and you just walk down onto the beach.  The beach itself isn't something to marvel at.  Walk in toward the rocks and get past the sea grass.  Just snorkel as far down the rocks toward the pier as you want!  It mostly stays the same depth.  We went almost all the way to the pier and we were told that if we would have kept going, there are sea turtles that eat around the pier.  Now I wish we would have done that.  Here are some pictures we took with the GoPros!  Enjoy!

Video I took of the Starfish! 
This fish is hard to see...Look in the center. 
The camouflage on this fish is phenomenal! I found this guy and he was about 3 feet long...Not sure what kind of fish this is???

Red Snapper...Brad wished he had his spear gun during this snorkel trip, because further down the
pier, the bigger these guys got! 

More Red Snapper

More Starfish

Look right below the surface of the water in the center of the picture.  I called it a needle fish but not sure of the actual name...

Barracuda ...These fish are probably my favorite fish to get pictures of. 


XOXO...Becky
