Bahia Honda State Park has one thing quite unusual for the Florida Keys. It’s got a beach. Plus a truely beautiful one as well. Add to it great camping sites and you have the formula for a Florida Keys camping paradise. Let’s see why.
Although the Florida Keys are islands in the sun, natural beaches are very exceptional indeed. Why? Mostly for the reason that the turquoise waters surrounding the Florida Keys are so very tranquil, the beach does not get a chance to create a beach. Bahia Honda has, hands down, the most beautiful beach in the Keys, and quite possibly the loveliest in Florida.
Swimming is quite a popular activity at Bahia Honda. The turquoise seas are warm, in the upper 70s to the low 80s most of the year. In addition, the waters are quite clear. Though the beach faces out to the Atlantic Ocean, unless there is a storm out in the ocean, the waters are calm.
Together with swimming, snorkeling is quite a big draw to Bahia Honda State Park. The calm, clear waters that invite swimming are excellent for exploring the underwater world. And if you’d like to have a treat, book a snorkeling tour from Bahia Honda out to Looe Key and visit the amazing coral reef there.
Kayaking, canoeing and boating are additionally on the list of enjoyable things to do at the park. There’s a small marina plus a ramp for boats. If you have somehow misplaced your boat, you can rent a kayak from the park concession. The serene waters are fantastic for exploring the waterways around the key, particularly on the Gulf side.
Don’t forget Florida Keys camping. From tents to RVs to renting one of their seaside cabins, all types of camping are available at the park. Here’s a warning: call ahead to place a reservation for a camping site or particularly one of the cottages. As you could imagine, a beach bungalow in this Florida paradise has quite a waiting list.
Bahia Honda State Park is found in the lower Florida Keys, a bit south and west of Seven Mile Bridge. Just one stop here and you’ll very likely realize why they call the Florida Keys the American Caribbean. Or simply Paradise.
So come on down and stay a spell. The weather is beautiful and the natives are friendly. And once you are here, you’ll have to agree that paradise is found at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys.
