Can anyone suggest a good Baja destination within 400nm of Phoenix?
Looking for good beaches, good snorkeling and decent facilities.

Alphonsians by far. There isn't much clear snorkeling water that I know
of until you get all the way down to Loreto. There are some islands off
Loreto and the local fishermen will become your personal escourt for
the day for about $80. The islands out there are the most amazing
things you will ever see and the water is the clearist I've ever seen.
You really do get to swim with the fishes. Remember, in Mexico, even in
the middle of winter to apply SPF 50 every 2 hours (or more) because
you'll burn much faster in Mexico than in Pheonix. If you go direct
Loreta, you can clear customs there. If you're flying a shorter legged
machine you'll need to stop in San Felipe first.
