Hello All,
It's been a while since posting, probably 10 years (on a new account, so don't bother looking back). Anyway, for my 40th birthday (still a few years away), I'm planning to go big: traversing the entire coast of FL and the Keys, to snorkel and do shallow shore diving throughout. I have started a google map with many locations already determined, most of them from state parks, some with camping. My question is really for those with knowledge on snorkeling and diving FL from the shore: am I missing any major FL snorkeling sites or shore dives that are approximately less than 40'? Below are some of the well-known areas on my current list. Thanks so much!
Gulf: Destin jetties, St. Andrews jetties, Gulf Shore jetties (I know, it's AL)
West Coast: Turtle Beach, Delnor-Wiggins Park, Gasparilla Island Park
East Coast: Blue Heron bridge, Lauderdale by the Sea, Riveria Beach, Ft. Pierce Inlet Park, Sebastian Inlet
Keys: John Pennekamp Park, Indian Key Park, Bahia Honda Park, Fort Zachary Taylor
Fun note: I was at St. Andrews two weeks ago, on the precise day that Red Tide levels increased dramatically. Dead fish everywhere, and the visit ended up being a bust. That disappointment helped provide the motivation here.
Kind Regards,
David
