TL;DR
Top snorkeling spots are near Lighthouse beach (colorful reef fish) and Assalah area; you can walk along the shoreline from Prima Life hotel past a dive center to the promenade and pier, or grab a cheap taxi to Blue Hole.
What the community said
From Prima Life hotel, walk along the shoreline past some barriers (everyone does this) until you reach a dive center — a landmark for continuing toward the promenade.

From the dive center, turn right toward a volleyball court and walk along the hotel buildings to the promenade, or keep walking along the shoreline further before cutting through — both routes lead to the promenade and the pier.

At Lighthouse beach you can snorkel right at the reef — plenty of fish life including clownfish, butterflyfish, and more.

In the evening, check out Assalah square — small markets and a lively atmosphere, a good way to spend the evening after the beach.
