Key West Snorkeling It's easy to explore the coral reef by booking a trip on one of the many Key West snorkeling boats that run to the reef every single morning and afternoon. They'll provide you with everything you need for a great day of exploring the reef: mask, snorkel, fins, and in wintertime, a wet suit. Most of the of boats also provide beverages and some also serve snacks as well. Bring your own sunscreen and extra water and food and you're all set. Oh, don't forget your underwater camera, too! You can buy a disposable one at the drugstore on the corner of Duval and Front Streets. Sand Key Lighthouse Most of the Key West snorkeling boats will take passengers out to Sand Key Lighthouse. It's a part of the reef that comes up to within two feet of the surface in some areas, hence the old lighthouse to warn ships. It's about a half-hour ride on the slow cruising catamarans that take multiple passengers to the reef for snorkeling. This is a favorite spot for Key West snorkeling because of the shallowness, allowing snorkelers to see fish and coral up close without having to learn diving skills. In fact, you can see amazing beautiful things just by floating on the surface and looking down. No need to dive at all at Sand Key. It's the idea spot for beginners, too. There are deeper spots for those who have snorkeled before, so if you want to dive down about ten feet or so you can do that too.
