Snorkel straight off the sand at one of the Florida Keys' most celebrated beaches, framed by an old railroad bridge.
Deep in the Lower Keys, this state park is known for clear water, pale sand, and sweeping sunsets carried on a steady sea breeze.
What you'll see and do - Swim and snorkel off pristine sandy beaches in crystal-clear water. - Rent kayaks and snorkeling gear, or join boat excursions to the nearby reef for more extensive snorkeling. - Watch wading birds and shorebirds and learn about the island's unique flora and fauna. - See remnants of Henry Flagler's early 20th-century railroad to Key West, which first opened up the key.
