CHECK OUT THESE ATTRACTIONS NEAR OUR RESORT
Travelers at Marina Del Mar Resort & Marina are surrounded by plenty of outdoor activities and natural settings. The oldest underwater park in the United States, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, is just 3 miles away. Perfect for divers and snorkelers, the park is home to 70 square miles of coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove swamps for you to explore. If you would rather keep your head above water, navigate through the park in a canoe or kayak or enjoy the park's nature trails.
Key Largo is also at the eastern edge of Everglades National Park, where you can spend a day birdwatching or keeping your eyes peeled for alligators, manatees and countless other species of wildlife.
