Florida Keys Highlight: Bahia Honda State Park (Florida)

Bahia Honda State Park is more than your average Florida Keys Nature Getaway. Besides the beaches, flowers, snorkeling and fishing, the undeniable attraction is a 100-year-old abandoned railway bridge and the unique vantage point it offers.

The 100-year old abandoned Bahia Honda Bridge adds a photographic accent and a stunning vantage point to see the gin-clear waters around the Florida Keys. Explore the bridge, beaches and clear water at Bahia Honda State Park, near Key West on the Florida Keys in Florida, USA.
