Florida Keys Snorkeling

What could possibly top snorkeling in Florida? Snorkeling in the Florida Keys. Join us on a snorkel trip at Hawks Cay Resort, and you’ll understand why.

Florida Keys Snorkeling on the Coral Reefs

The Florida Keys are home to the only living coral barrier reef in the continental U.S., also known as the Great Florida Reef. The Great Barrier Reef and the Belize Barrier Reef are the only systems larger!

The Great Florida Reef lies within five miles of Duck Key and can be reached in half an hour by boat. At Hawks Cay Resort, we have a sweet spot we like to take our guests to. Coffins Patch is part of the Great Florida Reef system, and it’s a shallow coral reef located within a protected area known as the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Its protected status keeps it pristine and breathtakingly beautiful, and its depth makes it perfect for snorkeling. Depending on the day, you might glimpse a smattering of reef fish, lobsters, turtles and other species.
