Tourist attraction

👍👍 Probably one of the best places to go snorkeling in the Miami area. Water is crystal clear just like in the Bahamas. Fowey lighthouse is packed with tropical fish and there are three ship wrecks (Arratoon Apcar, Mississippi, Tarpoon) just a few hundred feet to explore in 10-20 feet of water. People often mention snorkeling,

Amazing place to go snorkeling with your friends. And if you’re courageous enough, you can climb to the lower part of the lighthouse and jump 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nice place to spend a day, snorkeling, relaxing. The fish life is down from what it used to be, so 9ne star down for that.

Great place to go snorkeling and do something different! The lighthouse have several buys where you can tie your boat so that you don’t drop anchor and damage the coral reef below!

Beautiful place. Crystal clear and warm water. Awesome diving spot. I miss the good old days in Miami, during the 90s.

Very cool place. There was a storm approaching so we did not get out of the boat and explore but will go back very soon to spend time here.

What a BEAUTIFUL place to park your boat and take in the day, maybe do a little fishing, snorkel, wakeboard, paddle board, or just float! Great moorings are in place!

Beautiful place with a bunch of marine life definitely an awesome spot to go with friends but sadly most of the coral is bleached but there is still some that are healthy.

Had a great time here did a little snorkeling using Nemo battery powered hookah from BlU3. Becarful when anchoring ⚓ so not to harm the reef.
