Bahia Honda has the best camping in the Keys. There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sky as your ceiling and the ocean as your shower (and: Ow! Sand flies. OK, it’s not paradise…). The park has six cabins, each sleeping six people, and 80 campsites a short distance from the beach. Reserve months in advance.
