Best snorkelling in the Keys?
 

I'd like to hear your thoughts on where the best snorkelling places are in the Florida Keys.
Thanks!

Pennekamp, Pennekamp, Pennekamp!!! If you go through one of the dive operators in Key Largo you should find several that will take you out for some spectacular snorkeling.

Pennekamp.

I haven't snorkeleld Pennekamp in years, but it was spectacular at the time.

I just snorkeled off Key West in August and had a great experience there. Swam within a few feet of a nurse shark, saw schools of huge tarpon, and lots of barracuda. Some jellyfish and lots of colorful fish. The reef was shallow there so you could see everything. Don't remember the name of the boat, but it was one of the ones that makes two reef stops instead of one.

You can also take a snorkling tour of Indian Key from Islamorada. I hear that it's good.

I'll add...when we were in Key West last fall we went on a snorkel/kayak trip. It was wonderful. The web site is http://bestonkeywest.com/reservation...rireserve.html

Not as good as Pennekamp, but still a great day! We had sharks swimming next to our kayaks in the mangroves!

Pennekamp is very nice and if you are coming on a day trip from Miami, it's the place to go. I like the boats that go from the state park. However, most folks would tell you that the best snorkelling and diving in the Keys is at Looe Key - accessed from boats that leave from Big Pine Key - mm 29.

Here...absolutely invaluable information...

For the best snorkeling in the Keys stay in the upper keys and go to Pennekamp.

I've heard snorkeling in the Dry Tortugas is spectacular! You'll have to take a ferry from Key West. Here's the park's number is your interest 305-242-7700.
