Amazing place close to Miami! if you go to miami and is looking for something else than the shoppings, the tip is a trip to the florida keys. You can stop at Baia Honda and spend the day here. The snorkeling is a must-do! totally worth the price!

After a short stay at Anne's beach in Islamorada, we decided to head down to Bahia Honda for some quality snorkeling. Got there just before 2PM and we missed the last snorkeling tour which was at 1:30. Luckily we had our own gears and decided to explore on our own. We went to the Atlantic side where map showed god... More

Everybody who goes to the Florida Keys should spend a day at Bahia Honda. This park has it all, beautiful beaches, marina, snorkeling excursions, beautiful scenery. This is what Florida used to look like before the tourist invasion. This area is all about nature. Don't look for cabanas and drinks with umbrellas. If you want natural beauty, go here.

Visited this park on 5/12/13, the week before Mother's Day. The day we visited was very crowded. Waited in line on the main highway 15 minutes before we could even enter the park. Price was higher than advertised for a van (Dodge Caravan) plus the 50 cents per person. It cost us $11 for 6 adults which isn't bad. Park... More

This place was spectacular! It was a little choppy when we went, so we couldn't do any snorkeling. Beautiful views, pretty water, and very quiet little beach.

We stopped to view the State Park and Beach and ended up eating lunch at the concession stand. It was excellent. We had the "special" of the day which was a pulled pork sandwich with barbeque sauce. It was huge and delicious! The park itself was nice. We drove past the beaches and stopped and took some pictures. The sea... More

This is by far the best state park I have visited in Florida. You have so many things to do in this park that you should stay at least for a week. Riding a bike you may go around the park in about an hour, but there are so many activities to do!!!. The park has two wonderful beaches which... More

The ocean views were very pretty, however this isn't your typical combed white sand beach. Natural means seagrass on the shore and also washing in on windy days. Straight-up sunbathers might be disappointed, but we found the visit--views, nature trails, history--very worth the money.

As mentioned by others, one of the beaches is rather skinny. This is the Sandspur beach on the southeast side. This is the only beach we actively used during our visits. The first trip had flat seas, low tide (making for a bigger beach), and resulted in excellent snorkeling. The grassy areas just off the beach are like a fish... More

We drove here fr our rv site about 20 miles South. It was so worth the trip. Minimal fee to get in ($6). There are campsites, beaches, clean bathrooms and showers. There's also an old railroad bridge you can walk out on for some amazing views. You want to bring a camera for sure! This would be a great place... More
