Key Largo

The first community you reach is Key Largo which extends from mile marker 108 to 91. Key Largo has been designated the “Dive Capital of the World” and boasts the most phenomenal diving and snorkeling experiences in all of the Florida Keys island chain. Enjoy water sports and eco-tours at the John Pennekamp State Park which was the first undersea park in the country and spans 178 nautical square miles forming the largest living coral reefs in the continental United States. This park is among the most spectacular and diverse of all living coral reef communities in the world. In addition, there are several artificial reefs established with the sinking of large historically significant vessels in the waters surrounding Key Largo. These wrecks create an amazing underwater adventure that has thrilled visitors for many years. Key Largo is also home to a fantastic community park that features ball fields, playgrounds, a skate park and two pools with a pirate ship for young swimmers.
