Where are the car accessible snorkeling spots in Florida ? -

I m going to Miami for the christmas period and would like to find out about snorkeling spots that are easily accessible. Any places with clear water and corals, fishes, maybe sharks that are near land ? I would rather not take charters. thanks

john pennekamp in key largo is the most interesting

Very few cars are capable of accessing a Coral Reef. Assuming you plan to walk or swim . . . According to the Florida Sun Sentinel there are three good So. Fla. snorkling spots reasonably accessible from shore without a boat: Coral Cove Park, on Beach Road in Tequesta (Palm Beach County), Red Reef Park, 1400 No. State Road A-1-A, Boca Raton, and a Section of Beach off Ft. Lauderdale at Commercial Blvd. They caution the last is quite a swimming distance from shore so should be attempted only by strong swimmers and never alone.

Also Red Reef Park, its either north broward county or south palm beach county.
