If you snorkel towards the actual pelican sand bar, it gets really really shallow. There lots of sea urchins around, but regardless it's still nice to snorkel around the pelican bar. You'll see the odd fish, on the occasion you'll see different sealife. Around the pelican bar itself there's lots of vegetation and the depth of the water around the place is around 2.5 to 3 feet deep. Pretty kid friendly actually.
