Bahia Honda State Park is located on a remote island in the Florida Keys, and offers beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets, and excellent swimming and snorkeling. Beginning snorkelers are at an advantage here due to the shallow water, mild currents, and the clarity of the water; it is also a great site for beginning scuba divers.

The beaches on the island have restrooms and outdoor showers, and give visitors the opportunity to see shore birds, bottle-nosed dolphins, and several types of herons, ibis, and egrets. Boaters may use the island’s two boat ramps or pull into one of the park’s nineteen boat slips; the park offers ocean kayaks for rent. There are three campsites on the island with full hookups, and six cabins for rent. Cyclists may explore the park on its 3.5 miles of paved road. There is terrific fishing for grouper, snapper, and barracuda.
