John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

Key Largo, FL · Florida Keys$$8 per vehicle plus 50 cents a person; $4.50 solo driver

About

The first undersea park in the country protects 70 nautical square miles of living coral reef off Key Largo, and the headline sight sits in 25 feet of water: Christ of the Abyss, a 9-foot bronze with arms raised toward the surface. Glass-bottom boats run for anyone staying dry, while snorkel and dive trips head out to Molasses Reef and the statue; back on shore there are mangrove kayak trails, a saltwater swimming lagoon, and short hammock walks at mile marker 102.5.
