Bahia Honda State Park
For some, this area is just a quick rest stop on their way to Key West. But for others, the clear waters and vivid sunsets at Bahia Honda are well-deserved attractions of their own. This 500-plus-acre state park is hidden away on the southwestern edge of Bahia Honda Key.
At its tip, the eerie remains of a Henry Flagler–built railroad bridge bulges out from the water. Snorkelers can enjoy some of the most accessible and clear waters to be experienced in the entire state.
You can also grab some rental gear from the concession stand and walk into the waters to admire the starfish, sponges, sea urchins, and much more just inches away from your feet.
Even more, many unique creatures beckon you on a snorkeling boat tour to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary.
