"A popular Big Pine Key destination prized for its natural beaches and clear, shallow snorkeling atop grassy flats where juvenile reef fish and passing rays are commonly spotted. Waterfront campsites are hard to secure but rewarding; visitors can rent kayaks and snorkel gear on site or join trips to reefs within a nearby national marine sanctuary, and a short nature trail to the old bridge offers excellent sunset viewing of fish, turtles, and dolphins." - Terry Ward Terry Ward Terry Ward is a writer covering family travel, culture, scuba diving, and more.
