John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park 
Established in 1963, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is the only first undersea park that was established to protect the coral reefs that line the state of Florida. The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is connected to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary - which creates 178 nautical square miles filled with wildlife, coral reefs, mangrove swamps, and seagrass beds. Contrary to what you might think, the Coral Reef State Park offers more attractions above the surface as well. With a 30,000 gallon saltwater aquarium and theatre, as well as kayaking options and snorkeling areas - the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is perfect for a family outing or couples day out!  

Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Founded in 1980, the Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge was created to protect the native crocodile habitat. This is a unique thing to do, as where crocodiles live is closed off to the public. You can only get to this area through volunteering - but what better thing to do then volunteer for a few hours on your day off and get a great experience?! Those who are not interested in volunteering can visit the crocodile habitat to learn more, as well as how to preserve and protect the environment. In addition to learning more about the crocodile’s habit, you can also visit the Butterfly Garden that houses more than 50 unique and local species of plants.

Dolphin Cove
Located on the most northern area of Key Largo, Dolphin Cove is a five-acre lagoon that allows visitors to swim and meet with local dolphins. Guided tours last approximately thirty minutes, where visitors learn about the dolphins and their habitats - as well as what to expect when they come in contact with the dolphins. After the thirty minute tour, visitors have the option to participate in the dolphin swimming experience which gives visitors the chance to meet the dolphins up close and personal. 

Florida Keys Wildbird Rehabilitation Center
If you are a bird lover you should certainly visit the Wildbird Rehabilitation Center located in the Florida Keys! The Wildbird Rehabilitation Center is a safe space for injured birds to be rescued and rehabilitate before being released back into the wild. The Wildbird Rehabilitation Center is a great place for visitors to learn more about the local wildlife, how the center rehabilitates, and learn about the species residing within the center. 

USCGC Bibb
If you aren’t into wildlife, perhaps a visit to the USCGC Bibb is for you. The USCGC Bibb was involved in wartime operations in both World War II and Vietnam, and now sits peacefully at the bottom of the ocean in the gulf. The great thing about the gulf is that visibility is impeccable - making viewing of the USCGC Bibb gorgeous! You even have the option to participate in an underwater dive, where you can expect to see sharks, reef fish, and even barracudas. 

Key Largo Parasailing
Looking for an above water view of the beautiful landscape? Consider taking a parasailing adventure and seeing the beautiful Key Largo from the air. The great thing about parasailing is you an do it with a single, or double - meaning if you want to take a partner you are more than able to!

Charter Rental
Charter rentals can be fun and ultimately put the vacation’s control in your hands.

Sail the seas with your closest family and travel up and down the coast of the beautiful Key Largo. Visit port cities, experience nature preserves, go swimming, snorkel your way through the ocean, and island hop whenever you want. You are truly in control when it comes to renting a sailboat charter. The best part? You will be able to avoid the tourists.
