Time flies when you're having sun!
Holly cow, two weeks go by in a flash when you are on a long winter break in the Keys. Today we move lower in the keys to another state park, Bahia Honda. To get to this park we cross what is known as the seven mile bridge. Portions have what was called Flaglers folly parallel to the vehicle bridge, full of walkers and bikers who can go several miles out but need to turn back as this old railroad bridge no longer completes the span.
Henry Flagler's railroad to Key West turned the remote island of Bahia Honda Key into a tropical destination. The railroad was a success until a hurricane took out several portions. Today, the island is home to one of Florida's southernmost state parks, known for beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets and excellent snorkeling. You can picnic on the beach, take a swim, watch the sunset from the old railroad bridge or relax and enjoy the balmy sea breezes. Visitors to the park like to walk out on a portion of the old railroad bridge to catch the sunset.
We hope to get in some fishing from the kayak and off shore. We lucked out again with a nice site on the water, hard to come by in this park.
