Noord© rmiamoto via TripAdvisorArashi Beach
At the northwest tip, past the high-rises and just before the California Lighthouse. Calm clear water, a rocky entry on one end that's good for snorkeling, and a fraction of the foot traffic you'll see on Palm. A few palapas but no full facilities — bring water.
San Nicolas© BlueJayNYC via TripAdvisorBaby Beach
A shallow, almost-enclosed lagoon at the southern tip of the island in San Nicolas. The water rarely gets above waist-deep across most of the cove, which makes it the standard pick for families with toddlers or anyone uneasy in open water. Long drive from Palm Beach (45 minutes) but worth a day trip.
Noord© Fearless_Fists via TripAdvisorBoca Catalina
A small horseshoe cove just south of Arashi where the catamaran tours stop for their first snorkel of the day. Get there before 9am or after 2pm to dodge the boat crowds. Clear water, good visibility, plenty of fish on the rocks at the southern end.

Eagle Beach© PicnicsbyAimyaruba via TripAdvisorEagle Beach
Wide, white, and noticeably less crowded than Palm Beach despite the international 'top three' rankings. Famous for the two windswept fofoti trees that everyone photographs at sunset. Low-rise zoning keeps the sightlines clean and the crowd skews adult.

Palm Beach© 751morganb via TripAdvisorPalm Beach
The main resort beach — two miles of sand fronting the high-rise hotels, with watersports vendors, restaurants, and bars every hundred yards. Busy by 10am, dense by noon, but the swimming is excellent and there's a real boardwalk for evening strolls. Default beach if you're staying in a Palm Beach high-rise.

What we look for
We score on the water itself — clarity, calmness, snorkeling visibility — plus crowd density, shade, and how realistic the parking is on a Saturday.
