About San Pedro Underwater Archaeological Preserve State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Melba Nezbed
The very windy winter has finally started to calm down a bit and it’s a great time to take a kayak or boat out to this underwater site. The underwater visibility has started to clear up also so it’s much easier to see the ballast stones, cannons and anchor that we have on site. All the underwater items have created a miniature artificial reef and we have many regular visitors including turtlea, blow-fish and barracuda. Make sure and bring a diver-down flag, plenty of water and sunscreen. It’s a great place to snorkel and see the Florida Keys' underwater sights!
A Diver-Down flag is required by law!
