Can you snorkel in Ft Lauderdale?
Obviously, I know you CAN snorkel anywhere, but is there anything to see? Are there any reefs there, or should we take a daytrip to Key Largo?
Thank you for your time & Happy planning!

It's been a long time, but there used to be an artificial reef program in South FLorida. They'd intentionally sink old boats/ships in strategic locations to attract fish for fishermen and divers. I think some of the reefs are suitable for snorkeling, but am not sure.
Hah, I found a list of the artificial reefs in Broward County (Ft. Laud's county)

You will not find too much interesting underwater scenery in the Ft. Lauderdale waters. Head south - Sombrerro Reef (though quite a bit farther than Key Largo) is a beautiful reef that's great for snorkeling. But Key Largo will certainly offer you more sights than Ft. Lauderdale.
