Best Snorkeling in Fort Lauderdale
Vista Park Reef
Those who live locally know about the Vista Park Reef as a hidden gem. It’s a brilliant coral reef that you can reach directly from Vista Park Beach in Fort Lauderdale. The Vista Park Reef is about 1,000 feet from the shore and includes coral, sea fans, and tropical fish. It is a popular spot for divers because the water is between eight and 20 feet deep. In addition to the coral, the reef itself is full of scattered tropical fish. The best part is that it’s free!
Hollywood North Beach Park
On Hollywood North Beach Park’s shoreline, there are several two- to four-foot ledges that are 175 yards away. This Fort Lauderdale snorkeling hotspot is one of the deepest at about 15 feet deep. Here, you’ll have a chance of seeing tarpon, barracuda, tarpon, and even nurse sharks. You will only have to pay for parking at the metered lot since it is one of the lesser-known snorkeling spots in Fort Lauderdale. It is important to bring a dive flag and snorkeling equipment on this adventure.
Tuff Gong Reggae Boat Tour
If a guided tour is more your thing, Tuff Gong Reggae Boat Tours is a great way for anybody to get a great view of Fort Lauderdale’s sea life with the experience of an expert.
