Anne's Beach And Boardwalk In Islamorada Photo Courtesy of Teresa Smith At Anne's Beach, the boardwalk winds its way through the mangroves which parallel the narrow beach. Hence, this is a very good trip, and highly recommendable when you have your own car and can drive to the park. Snorkling equipment, snorkling boat adventures.

The park is named in honor of the settlers who originally named the area Island Home after their schooner. If you have a reluctant swimmer on your group but really want to see the coral reef, this boat ride is for you!

Had not been to John Pennekamp since the early 80s and was glad to see that it had not been improved but was clean and improved without destroying the natural beauty of the place. Placing those old cannons in the living museum was a cool touch. Prices for rentals are reasonable and I like the fact that disabled vets are free. I loved this park. When we first saw the beach area, we were not sure what to think. It is not a typical white sand beach - it is a little more rugged and there was a lot of people and kids! But once we were settled in, the water was very clear and calm so it was perfect for a beginner snorkeler like me. I loved looking at all of the fish, plants rocks and crabs. My son is seven and was thrilled to see two large iguanas right on the beach - one got into someone's lunch bag. The people are also really nice, We didn't go boating or take the glass bottom boat ride, but we will come back and definitely give these activities a try. The welcome center is also nice - small aquarium which was fun to walk through. Will definitely go back! Lots to do in a great spot! Also, it is inexpensive to get in and worth every penny! This Florida state park has some beaches, hiking trails, snorkeling tours, and kayak rentals. After driving 11 hours from Atlanta we went at opening 8 am to stretch our legs and watch the sunrise while eating breakfast. The swimming area is pretty nice but don't expect white lush sand beaches. At cannon beach there is a wreck a swimable distance from shore and the wreck and plant life closer to land shelter a variety of fish which makes for a nice self guided snorkel tour. The entrance fee is per person not per vehicle and drops when you have more people in your vehicle. You can pay with cash or card although cash is certainly quicker. They also provide you with a brochure upon arrival. We rented a kayak for two and spent an hour Kayaking around the park. Maps and safety vests were provided. It was a nice, peaceful trip. We saw a few fish and one Manta Ray. The water is so clear that we could see the Manta Ray sitting on the bottom. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We went to the beach afterward. There are lots of grasses in the water-not really great for wading or swimming. The next day we went back for a snorkeling tour with our adult daughter who had never snorkeled before. All staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave us a quick lesson in snorekling. We saw many beautiful bright-colored reef fish, giant conch shells, and a school of Tarpon. The statues were closed that day, but we had just enough time at the reef. This place did not live up to its reputation, at least from what we saw. Our family went there to snorkel off the beaches, not on a boat tour and agreed that we felt like we were swimming in a murky lake. The water is green and has low visibility. We had a much better experience snorkeling off the beach at our hotel Hilton Key Largo and out in the ocean on a boat in Molasses Reef with Ocean Divers. We reserved a snorkeling trip for 5-- my husband and I, our 9 yr old son and 17 yr old daughter and 14 yr old nephew. We arrived an hour or so early and were advised of rough conditions at sea and given the option to change things up, we opted to stick with it -- We are from KY but visit Florida often. All of us except my nephew have moderate experience snorkeling offshore in Southeast Florida in choppy conditions but never at sea. My nephew had 0 snorkeling experience. We were on the noon SeaGarden trip with Captain Carl and Mike17 hope that was it, Mike. They were a hoot. Both were super awesome, funny, helpful and there to make your trip successful. I also loved and appreciated that Carl was direct and serious about his expectations with people. We went to the Grecian rocks and saw so much. The trip out was BEAUTIFUL. We saw huge conchs, barracuda, squid, beautuful underwater landscape and so many fish I've yet to find out what they were. I was very worried it would be difficult for our 9 yr old to keep from touching the reef but he was perfect! My only complaint was that it went by far too quickly! We wanted to immediately go out on the 4. Be sure to take cash to tip the very deserving crew! I believe that our captain was Jake and I think our assistant was Jenna - I wish I was sure because they were both TERRIFIC! We took my 11 year old cousin out for her first open water snorkeling and this was the perfect choice. The gear if you rent is solid, the boat is comfortable; they run a tight ship in terms of timetable; they don't overload the boat which is really nice. The crew obviously cares about safety but clearly wants the guests to have fun. They dropped us at a great location with tons of beautiful coral and wildlife; and gave us a great tip for lunch as we arrived back as well!...

Harry Harris and Founders The closest beaches to Key Largo outside of John PenneKamp Coral Reef State Park are a few miles south. Snorkeling is not permitted near marinas. Take a boat farther out for a close look at the living reef and its inhabitants, all part of the John Pennekamp Coral Cannon beach key largo Park, the nation's first protected marine area. All prices and schedules are subject to change without notice. Another great feature of Anne's Beach is that the clear water is shallow for a long way out - at least several hundred feet. Key Largo restaurants Bayside Grill, Mile Marker 99. I wasn't sure where to dive off Largo, and Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was more than I expected. I would say this park is more geared towards actual water sports like getting out on a boat or renting a kayak. Also has a nice gift shop. Man made, there are picnic tables, shade, and the benefit of easy access to the spectacular Gulf water.
