I am considering snorkeling with my girlfriend on a first date soon. I would prefer places that you can snorkel off the beach. Because when I went snorkeling for the first time on a school field trip when I was 17, I went to John Pennekamp by boat 5 miles offshore. I snorkeled around the reef around near where the statue of Christ and the area was like at least 20-25 feet deep and it looked quite scary. I was floating with the inflated vest the whole entire time though now I know that since that area is deep I prefer repetitive skin diving rather than surface snorkeling in that area. I do not want to do John Pennekamp as a choice, though it is an awesome reef plus I do not want to go to far from home.
The type of places I desire to snorkel with my gf would be in a place where it is shallow, can snorkel off the beach without a boat, has vibrant marine life, is cheap to go to for admission in a park, and is a calm safe area that is not considerably choppy. A couple of choices I have in mind are the Otleta River State Park and Key Biscayne. Otlelta River State park is in mind because coral reefs are not the only area with vibrant marine life. Mangroves can be very vibrant in marine life too.
Are these areas mentioned good for easy shore snorkeling?. Your own snorkel and diving experiences in Miami and these areas would be really useful.
