Home tour and boat house - Very small park but the tour of the property is very educational. The home is beautiful and we enjoyed the story behind it. Still cant imagine them taking the first floor and making it the second floor.
Lighthouse fishing - This park has a lighthouse and light keepers house to explore on the tour. Beautiful views and educational. Beach, fishing, and trails as well.
Love this place - Snorkeling, glass bottom boat tour, beaches, visitors center, and more We really love this park and both my husband and I have been coming here since we were kids. If you are heading to the keys you should definitely plan a day to visit this park.
Beautiful View - This park has a beautiful ocean view, a tower due to a hurricane unclimbable, and a cool oversized beach chair for pictures. We actually used this park to take our Christmas photos with the ocean as our background.
Fossils, Machinery, Tracks ohh my - We really enjoyed this park. The massive coral wall was beautiful with the imprints and tree roots growing through it. There is machinery and railroad tracks to explore. We enjoyed the trails as well. We definitely recommend this park.
Bug Food - Unfortunately we decided to go last month and we got as far as the rest area then turned around and left. The bugs were ridiculous and unbearable to deal with. We will definitely go back during the cooler months to explore but do not recommend going during the summer.
Cox, Hodges, McNeil family fun 2023 - Our family had an amazing time on the water. We fish, we swim, we rode the pontoon around the crisp beautiful gulf blue waters.
Noisy - I imagine if you are camping in an RV/Travel Trailer this will not apply to you. As a tent camper, this park is extremely noisy. Not just from surrounding traffic noise, but also from other campers who like making noise.
