The Florida Keys are a
chain of over 1700 islands off of the southeast end of Florida. They
islands are positioned along the Florida Straits, which mark the
division between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The clear
waters and more diving/snorkeling outfitters per square foot than any
other location in the world make this an obvious destination for
snorkelers the world over. Biscayne Bay, located in Biscayne National
Park, has excellent Florida Keys snorkeling that can be reached by
boat. Boasting spectacular hard coral formations, giant sponges and sea
fans, along with a colorful variety of ocean life, this spot is a
natural for Florida Keys snorkeling. The Dry Tortugas National Park,
which is 70 miles from Key West, is an isolated grouping of uninhabited
islands that boast absolutely pristine waters and untouched reefs. Even
by the high standards of Florida Keys snorkeling, this is one spot that
really stands out. There are a number of shipwrecks in the shallow
waters, making for interesting scuba diving as well as snorkeling.
Though this Florida Keys snorkeling trip involves an investment of time
and money because of their remote status, the lack of crowds and the
quality of the snorkeling make it well worthwhile.
