Dive into Adventure: Watersports in Key Largo
Key Largo, the first and longest island in the Florida Keys, is a sun-drenched playground for anyone with a love for water, adventure, and the great outdoors. Nestled between the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil Florida Bay, this tropical paradise offers an unmatched variety of watersports for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
Snorkeling & Diving the Coral Reefs
Key Largo is famously home to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first underwater park in the U.S., and part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Here, you can snorkel or scuba dive among vibrant coral formations teeming with marine life, including parrotfish, angelfish, barracudas, and even the occasional sea turtle or nurse shark. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Christ of the Abyss, a serene underwater statue that's become an iconic dive site.
Kayaking & Paddleboarding Through Mangroves
For those who prefer a slower pace, Key Largo’s calm backwaters are perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. Navigate your way through lush mangrove tunnels, where you might spot manatees, herons, and iguanas basking in the sun. Guided eco-tours are widely available and offer a deeper understanding of the unique ecosystems that thrive in this part of the Keys.
Jet Skiing, Parasailing, and Beyond
If speed and adrenaline are more your style, hit the throttle on a jet ski or soar above the coastline while parasailing. The expansive ocean views from above are breathtaking, giving you a bird’s-eye perspective of the island’s stunning shoreline. Many local operators also offer banana boat rides, wakeboarding, and tubing—perfect for families or groups of friends looking for high-energy fun.
Fishing Charters & Deep-Sea Excursions
Key Largo is a world-class fishing destination. From backcountry flats fishing in the Florida Bay to deep-sea sportfishing in the Atlantic, anglers of all skill levels can find their niche. Book a half-day or full-day charter and try your luck catching mahi-mahi, tuna, tarpon, or grouper, depending on the season.
