The first undersea park in the United States, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, and
the adjacent Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, cover approximately 178 nautical
square miles of coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove swamps. The park extends 3
miles into the Atlantic Ocean and is approximately 25 miles in length.
These areas were established to protect and preserve a portion of the only living coral reef
in the continental United States.
The park is named for the late John D. Pennekamp, a Miami newspaper editor, whose
efforts contributed to the establishment of Everglades National Park and the preservation
of what would become John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.

Hours of Operation
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.
