The Horseshoe
★★★★☆
(346)
It’s called the “Horseshoe“ located at Mile Marker 35 in Big Pine Key. It was an old quarry which the dugout coral was used to build the Overseas Highway. At about 30 ft/10m deep in the middle, there is an ambulance and a small boat. Divers and Snorkelers use the location during poor sea conditions.
Spadefish, grouper, snapper and grunts can be seen at this location. Also some species of coral can be seen on the west side of the location.
