"Bahia Honda State Park is a GREAT trip!" Bahia Honda State Park by tpangelinan

Bahia Honda State Park Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 67 photos

Best day we had in the Keys!

More beautiful quiet corners to get lost, be alone. Lots of beach to walk. Lots of pictures to take. Best place to swim also.

It is hard to describe to someone

the beauty of this park. Both sides of the park have their own merits, and it deserves at least one whole day, two would be ideal.
This shot was taken on the way up the path to the bridge.

Tree Colony

Since 1870 botanists from all over the world have been visiting the plants brought here by the birds, hurricane winds, ocean waves from all of the islands of the West Indies and the Caribbean Sea. The rare plants that are found growing are the West Indie Satin Wood or the Yellowwood Tree...

Pros and Cons

Pros:Quiet, serene, great place for the whole family!
Cons:Camping requires reservations up to 1 year in advance.
In a nutshell:Perfect days are made here.

Pizza filled pretzels?... the mind boggles:-) I'd stick with the ice cream. Seing a manatee up close must have been awesome. The water here is fabulous.
