John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

Hotel | "John Pennekamp State Park"

Quote:

These are typical state park sites with picnic tables and electricity/water hook ups. Nice bath houses and some shady sites. The access to the great park facilities is a plus and the price is very good.

This is a beautiful park surrounded by a coral reef. There is great snorkeling and a nice beach for sunning. A glass-bottom boat take people out to the reef to see amazing fish and coral. There are picnic areas, camping and a marina.

African Queen Glass-Bottomed Boats

Attraction | "African Queen Glass Bottom Boats"

Quote:

The African Queen will take you out to snorkel and just see the coral/fish and natural wonders of the area in its glass bottom boats. It is a little pricey, but a good ride with nice people. There are lots of different boat companies that do the same thing.

Key Largo Farmers Market

Attraction

Quote:

This is an interesting farmers market with lots of food -- citrus and produce items, but also fish and local products. There are also vendors with some clothing and local handcrafted items. It is open most everyday, but just until 3:00pm.
