If you continue driving south, Bahia Honda State Park is riight before the 7 Mile Bridge. Â You can camp here, but need to reserve months in advance. Â Also, you can go snorkeling right off the shore. I have seen stingray, barracudas, Lobster, seahorses and plenty of fish. Â Please Note: You will need a dive flag and beware of boats and currents - So don't go to far out. They also have a regular beach area too and snorkeling equipment rentals.
