Renowned for being the country’s first undersea park, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park encompasses an impressive 70 nautical square miles. While many visitors view the park’s colorful coral reefs and teeming marine life on a glass-bottom boat tour, one can get an even closer look by scuba diving or snorkeling.
Canoeing and kayaking through the park's waters are popular activities; fishing is permitted in designated areas.
Visitors can also enjoy walking on short trails through tropical hammocks, picnicking or swimming at the beach. The visitor center features several large saltwater aquariums filled with sea creatures, and nature videos are shown in its theater. Full-facility

Located in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Christ of The Abyss is an underwater statue of Christ blessing the depths off Key Largo.
The top of the statue sits at around 8 to 10 feet below the surface, making it visible to snorkelers. But SCUBA divers get the best views (and the best selfies) of Florida’s Christ of the Abyss, diving down alongside the statue as it stands, arms aloft, among the coral reefs, an occasional barracuda or ray drifting past.
Snorkeling, SCUBA and Glass Bottom Boat Tours can be arranged through the State Park. Power Boats, Kayak, Canoe and Paddleboards can also be rented for the inland waters.

Rain Barrel Village

Open 24 hours
Sculptor Richard Blaze, hired by a local restaurateur, created Betsy. Made from fiberglass, Betsy is a 30 foot high and 40 foot long biologically correct model of a Florida Spiny Lobster. The sculptor began to work on the piece in 1980 in Marathon Florida and it took five years to complete. By this time the restaurant was no longer in business. The late Tom Vellanti acquired the artwork to put on display at his Treasure Village. When the Village was turned into a School, Betsy was no longer available for viewing and was retired and put into storage. In 2009, Betsy was moved to her new home at the Rain Barrel Artesian Village (MM 86.7) and sits right out front on the Overseas Highway for all to see. Believed to be the world’s largest lobster sculptor, she is one of America’s most famous roadside attractions. The 12 legged lobster is the second most photographed attraction in the Florida Keys, only behind the Southernmost Point in Key West.
