Boston's summer months (June through early September) offer the most favorable conditions for snorkeling, with warmer water temperatures and typically better visibility. Water temperatures during July and August generally range from 65-75°F, making a light wetsuit comfortable for extended time in the water. Morning sessions often provide calmer waters and better visibility before afternoon winds pick up. For the best experience, arrive wearing your swimsuit with a towel and change of clothes for afterward. Sunscreen is essential, even on partly cloudy days, but choose reef-safe formulas to protect the marine environment. This activity is particularly well-suited for families with children over 8 years old and first-timers who want to try snorkeling in a controlled environment before attempting more challenging locations. The relatively protected waters around Boston provide an excellent introduction to snorkeling techniques and underwater exploration.
