Bahia Honda Park
Bahia Honda Park used to be a little island that people would drive through to get to Key West and other lower Keys. The bridge that connects Bahia Honda to the rest of the Keys deteriorated beyond repair such that a new bridge was constructed. People started to visit Bahia Honda for its beaches and water instead of its bridge, and thus Bahia Honda Park was opened in the early 1960′s. Enough history blah blah… check this place out!
This park is known for having the clearest waters anywhere. The snorkeling is awesome and the water is so nice for swimming. The park is very clean and there’s tons of wildlife. After swimming and snorkeling I went on a brief wildlife hike on the south side of the island:
I came across a neat looking heron, a bunch of smaller birds, pelicans, and a weird little crab. Pretty awesome.
Check out this video I made snorkeling. It’s just a short clip – I plan on putting a longer video together later:
