John Pennekamp State Park
★★★★☆
(354)
This site is part of the Florida State Park system and has protected status. It’s also home to the Boy Scouts of America SeaBase camp program. With shallow, clear water, plenty of reef life, and easy access just offshore, this site is a great dive for beginners and also snorkelers.
Expect to see all the Caribbean basics like possible eagle rays, stingrays, nurse sharks, turtles, parrotfish, porcupine fish, french, grey, and queen angelfish, and more!
