John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Board the Spirit of Pennekamp, a glass-bottom boat that sails to shallow reefs teeming with parrotfish, snapper, lobster, and barracuda. Two-and-a-half-hour tours are US$22.
  • Explore the only living coral barrier reef in North America.
  • Avoid the snowbird season. September and October are quiet, but the water is still warm enough to enjoy.
