We had a great time on Bahia Honda. To really get to see and appreciate the park, you have to get on the water. Either kayak or snorkel. We took a snorkel tour with Capt. Chris and Zack. Both of them were super helpful and great. We saw a TON of dolphins on the ride out and back in. On our snorkel we saw so many different beautiful fish and even 2 sea turtles. The snorkeling was the best part of our trip for sure.

You pay pp so it was $9 for two people. You can swim in the Atlantic or the Gulf. When we were there the Gulf side was less rough, although there was a strong current. The Gulf side has a great view of the old railway bridge. There’s also a short path which takes you up to the old railway bridge from which you get great views of the new bridge and the sea. There’s changing facilities, rest room, gift shop and a snack bar. Recommended making sure you are there at sunset for gorgeous views of the sun setting behind the railway bridge.

Beautiful park to sit at the beach, take a walk or have a picnic at. There's a per person entrance fee, but not bad. The highlight of this park is the ability to book a snorkeling trip here! Super affordable ($180 for 2 adults and 2 kids including all equipment rental) for a 80 minute round-trip boat ride and 80 minutes out on the reef with 2 guides who stay on the boat to inform you of wildlife they see and of course to make sure everybody was safe. The other tours were so much more expensive so this was great! We went with about 40 other people, but it didn't feel crowded while snorkeling.

What a view to swim in! The old bridge and palm trees make it a memorable day. Saw sting ray and one small fish snorkeling. Water temp was nice. Generous roped off area for swimming. Close by parking. Clean restrooms. Outdoor showers and changing areas. Will definitely be back. Extremely limited shade, so you’ll need to bring a tent or beach umbrella.

They finally opened up the beach that has been down since the last big hurricane! Not quite the same as I remember but still beautiful. The seaweed situation still hasn't changed so there is that but still one of the best state parks on our Florida visit.

Beautiful beach and scenery, a very lovely State Park. Warning to those with children, we were surprised to encounter a nude sunbather on the beach right in front of us. Maybe she was not American from somewhere that is more common, but “read the room”, lady. No one else on the entire beach was nude. The human body is nothing to be ashamed of, but for those of you with kiddos wanting to keep it PG, don’t assume a State Park is a guaranteed safe bet.

Spent the day (after the rain) at Sandspur beach. Loved it the water was so shallow felt like you could walk out a mile and not be over your head. During the rain we stopped at Winn Dixie on Big Pine Key; a little more pricey than Orlando, but surprisingly fresh foods. Then went to the Big Pine Key flea market where the kids enjoyed mini donuts that they make right in front of you. The wife bought cover ups and I bought some Stainless boat parts for the rigging that I couldn't find anywhere else. Back to the beach it was deserted. What a beautiful place. Look forward to going back next year. Looking back on my camera roll, I didn't get any clear photos, sorry 😐

This is a must stop if you enjoy learning some history, plus enjoying beach time. On our way to Key West we did not stop as it was raining, but marked it as something to do coming back. As soon as we were off the 7-mile Bridge, you can pull into the park. There is an entrance fee ~$9 based on how many in car. Park and then walk down to the beach. If you want to enjoy the beach and the water there is plenty of area. Water was warmer than expected and close to shore pretty swallow. We walked along the beach and then took the trail up to the Overseas Railroad and Highway. That was definitely worth the walk. There are two sides....Gulf and Atlantic so make sure you see both.

Fantastic park with three beautiful beaches and great snorkeling. My teen boys, 18 and 16 are novice snorkelers and had a fantastic time floating the current at Loggerhead Beach. Lots of variety of fish there and perfect depth. Calusa and Sandspur beaches seemed better suited for family swimming. For $10 entry and $4/person to rent a mask (we already had snorkels from a previous trip and fins are not necessary here), you can't beat the price for an all-day adventure. Nice shower/bathroom facilities. Even had surprise dolphin visitors in the marina. Great time!

Naturally stunning. Stopped for a quick snorkel and decided to go back a second day during our short trip to the Keys. A short hike to the bridge is worth it for the history and views. Snorkeled in the morning and saw large schools of fish, a few small bright colored fish, a barracuda, and a large sting ray. Wear water shoes or fins as it is a bit rocky/grassy. Water was pretty clear even when overcast and windy. Perfect for families. Great gift shop with food/drinks and excellent bathroom facilities. Wasn't too crowded. Easily one of our favorite stops in the Keys.
