John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, FL
Key Largo's star attraction is John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park - the first underwater preserve in the United States. It is the only coral reef in North America and is home to over 55 types of coral, sponges, shrimp, crab, sea turtles, lobsters and eel, as well as over 600 species of fish. The glass-bottom boat tours carry passengers through the park’s reefs where they can view this abundant underwater wildlife. The land base includes a 30,000-gallon salt-water aquarium and hosts other activities include snorkeling, diving, boating, camping, kayaking, fishing, swimming and picnicking.
