    5 Fantastic Snorkeling Spots in Big Pine Key and Florida’s Lower Keys

    Who says phenomenal snorkeling can only be found in distant destinations like the Maldives or Thailand? Vibrant coral reefs, abundant marine life and sparkling turquoise water are much closer than you think. In fact, they’re all in America — in Big Pine Key and Florida’s Lower Keys, to be exact.

    Recently named one of the 15 best beaches in Florida, Bahia Honda is an essential stopping point on any road trip between Miami and Key West. And Bahia Honda State Park can boast that it was the first-ever Florida site to make #1 on Dr. Beach’s famous “Best Beaches” list, in 1992. Bahia Honda State Park is home to over 150 species of fish and the spectacularly colorful reef is the site of more than 50 species of coral.
