Curry Hammock State Park

Fodor's Review:

Looking for a slice of the Keys that's far removed from tiki bars? On the ocean and bay sides of U.S. 1, Curry Hammock State Park covers 260 acres of upland hammock, wetlands, and mangroves. On the bay side, there's a trail through thick hardwoods to a rocky shoreline. The ocean side is more developed, with a sandy beach, a clean bathhouse, picnic tables, a playground, grills, and a 28-site campground open November to May. Locals consider the paddling trails under canopies of arching mangroves one of the best kayaking spots in the Keys. Manatees frequent the area, and it's a great spot for bird-watching. Herons, egrets, ibis, plovers, and sanderlings are commonly spotted. Raptors are often seen in the park, especially during migration periods.

  • Cost: $3.50 for 1 person, $6 for 2, 50¢ per additional person
  • Open: Daily 8-sunset
