Bahia Honda state park, Florida keys, United States 2002 - destroyed railway bridge, Silver Palm nature trail
Bahia Honda (meaning deep bay, in Spanish, locally pronounced: BAY-ah HON-da, also pronounced (in Spanish): Bah-EE-ah OWN-dah, is an island in the lower Florida Keys.
Bahia Honda State Park. Founded in 1961, the park occupies most of the island. The channel at the island's west end is one of the deepest natural channels in the Florida Keys. Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway once ran through the present parkland to Key West. Built between 1905 and 1912, it was destroyed by the severe Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Later, the railroad bridge foundations were used to build the Overseas Highway, which became U.S. 1
The Florida Keys are a coral cay archipelago located off the southern coast of Florida, forming the southernmost portion of the continental United States. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles (24 km) south of Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern part of Key West is just 90 miles (140 km) from Cuba. The Florida Keys are between about 23.5 and 25.5 degrees North latitude.

Where the Florida Keys island chain takes a graceful westerly turn toward the sunset, the Lower Keys are home to two national wildlife refuges, a national marine sanctuary and a state park, and are surrounded by a marine environment filled with abundant terrestrial and marine wildlife.

Big Pine & The Lower Keys — The Natural Keys
If you've had enough of an overcrowded and weary world, the islands of the Lower Keys are the place for you.
Here, you can snorkel or dive over the Looe Key coral reef, ride a bicycle through Key Deer country, or take a fishing adventure in the back country or troll the deep blue waters beyond the reef.
At the end of the day, you can trade stories with family and friends at one of this area's tiki bars, RV parks, campgrounds, quaint resorts or licensed vacation homes. The Earthy fragrance of mangrove forests and wetlands is never far away.
The Lower Keys begin where the Florida Keys island chain takes a graceful westerly turn toward the sunset, shortly after the famous Seven Mile Bridge. It is a quiet region of small resorts, down-home restaurants, single-family homes, untrammeled wildernesses and rich history.
Fury Key West Island Adventure Eco Tour: Here's What It's Like
This is the Island Adventure Eco Tour run by Fury in Key West, Florida. During the half-day tour we were brought snorkeling, kayaking through mangroves, and stand-up paddling boarding on sandbar flats. During the tour Fury's boat weaves throughout natural islands surrounding Key West. Yet perhaps the best part was just chilling out on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean. The unlimited drinks and a great fried chicken lunch helped to add to the value of this island adventure eco tour. And we were excited to even see some dolphins while cruising through those turquoise waters and sipping on mimosas. Ultimately, it made for a really enjoyable half-day voyage from Key West that we'd recommend.
We went on this Fury Island Adventure Eco tour in early January 2019. It runs throughout the year, with two tours each day, morning and afternoon.
