Key Largo, Florida: White-Sand Beaches, Swimming with Dolphins and Shipwreck Scuba Dives

The largest and northernmost key in the Florida Keys archipelago, Key Largo is known for its excellent diving. There are spectacular underwater shipwrecks and coral formations here, and numerous diving charter boats in the area will take you to the best sites. At Elbow Reef, off the coast of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, you may come face-to-face with moray eel and hawksbill turtles.

Herons, roseate spoonbills, and other local waterfowl live at Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, located in Tavernier, the southwestern part of Key Largo. It serves as a sanctuary for birds that have been injured or displaced. Nearby is Harry Harris Park Beach—one of the best beaches in the area, particularly for families. A large coral rock blocks big waves from coming in, so it’s calm enough for kids to play in the surf. There are also a number of grills and picnic tables here.
