Key West is surrounded by several distinct marine environments, including the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, shallow backcountry flats, mangrove islands, seagrass beds, and the Florida Reef. This variety creates opportunities for snorkeling, offshore fishing, backcountry eco tours, sandbar trips, dolphin watching, and wildlife viewing that are very different from destinations focused primarily on one beach or bay.
