Renowned for being the country’s first undersea park, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park encompasses an impressive 70 nautical square miles. While many visitors view the park’s colorful coral reefs and teeming marine life on a glass-bottom boat tour, one can get an even closer look by scuba diving or snorkeling.

Nick and I love driving the boat up to the Big Chill; they have the best bloody marys in the Keys with blue cheese-stuffed olives. They have really good pig skin nachos and coconut shrimp, along with their fresh catch of the day. Its just a very fun spot, and they usually have live music. This spot was owned by former Miami Dolphins owner Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill features the best dining and entertainment experience in the Florida Keys!
