Bahia Honda Key

Bahia Honda State Park

About the Park

The initial purchase of the first 13 acres of the park ocurred in 1961. Since then, the park has become well-known as a recreational treasure in the Keys.

The park encompasses 524 acres, and includes one small island offshore on the southwest end of the park. The subtropical climate throughout the Florida Keys has created a natural enviornment found nowhere else in the US. Many plants in the park are rare and unusual, including marine plant and animal species of Caribbean origin. These and many other natural wonders can be viewed along the nature trail that follows the shore of a tidal lagoon at the far end of Sandspur Beach.

Unlike most of the Florida Keys, Bahia Honda has a beautiful sandy beach along both the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay. Snorkeling, swimming, fishing, camping (80 sites), bayside cabins (6) and access to two boat ramps, make Bahia Honda an outstanding recreational opportunity.
