This park has to be one of the best that the Florida Keys has to offer. I have always wanted to…read morestop here while visiting our friends that live in Key West and we finally had the opportunity. Bahia Honda means "Deep Bay" and refers to the deep bays of Bahia Honda Key. It is pronounced Bah -EE-ah Own da. It is 30 feet deep which makes it the deepest natural harbors in the Keys. It was established in 1961and is known for its history as part of Henry Flagler's "Overseas Railroad" and is now known as the Overseas Highway. In 1935 there was a huge hurricane that destroyed the railroad. What makes this park so unique is that it is encompasses an offshore island and it sits between Ohio Key and Spanish Harbor Key close to the west end of the Seven Mile Bridge. The park has 524 acres of lush beauty. It is open everyday of the year from 8am - sundown and the fee is $8 per vehicle. Clean restrooms and outdoor showers available. There is so many things to do such as snorkeling, swimming in the gin clear crystal waters, hiking out to the Old Bahia Bridge, birding, camping, boat rentals, a concession stand, rent a cabin, kayak, fishing or visit the nature center. We found parking easily and made our way out on the trail to the Old Bridge. The views from up here are panoramic. After viewing the bridge and the views, we really could not resist taking a dip at one of the beaches. The water was still warm enough to swim in November and it felt fantastic. What I love most about the state park beaches along the Keys are all the marine life you can view while swimming or just walking on the beach. No place like it! If I could give this park 10 stars I would, it is that incredible. Cannot wait to come back again.

A sweet spot to stop and enjoy a dip in the cool, clear waters…read more As it's a state park, there is a small fee associated with entrance to utilize the beach, sandbars, walking paths, facilities and snack bar/gift shop. Plenty of parking. Beaches are beautiful and the water refreshingly cold. Marine life can also be seen, but please avoid touching or catching the sea creatures; and parents, tell your kids/teens to respect the wildlife.

The water was clear and it was great for shelling. One of the best beaches I've ever been to. Just…read morebe wary of the sand fleas they are bad in some spots.

We are a full time traveling family of 6. We share our journey on our with others on social media…read moreso others know about family friendly and inexpensive places to visit with kids. Today was the perfect day to take a walk to a little island the locals call Conch Island. You can get there easily by the campsite we are staying at (Sunshine Key RV Resort) The walk itself is full of sea life but if you come at low tide there are creatures in the tide pools. Today we went a little later but we're still able to find some fun things! Part of this whole simple life that I enjoy is the exploring, without an agenda. Just taking off and finding cool things along the way. The kids will fight at an amusement park or staying home, or in most situations because they are "bored". But the second we are outside and exploring, everyone immediately changes their tune and we spend hours just doing "nothing". I hope these are the memories they will take with them.

Enjoyed an afternoon ebike ride along the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail…read more The Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail is a 106-mile, multi-use path for biking, hiking, and skating that parallels the Overseas Highway, incorporating parts of the original Flagler Railroad and historic bridges. It offers scenic views, access to natural areas like parks and wildlife refuges, and is a linear state park with various services. While much of the trail is paved and safe, some sections require users to walk alongside the highway shoulder, especially on busier bridges like the Seven Mile Bridge. Highly recommended.

Remember to call if they turn you away at the gate. I would also call a day ahead to let them know when you are coming.

We visited Marvin Key, cruised mangroves, and saw so much wildlife: dolphins, sharks, crabs, parrotfish, and tons of birds like herons and spoonbills.
