Spotting Sea Life: A Snorkeler's Wish List for Florida Bay
The creatures worth keeping your eyes peeled for.
Half the fun of getting in the water is never knowing what you'll see. On a snorkel sail or eco tour across Florida Bay, here's the wish list worth scanning for.
The headliners
- Sea turtles — green and loggerhead turtles grazing or surfacing for air.
- Rays — southern stingrays fanning the sand and eagle rays gliding past.
- Dolphins — resident pods working the flats, sometimes riding the bow.
- Nurse sharks — harmless bottom-dwellers that thrill every snorkeler.
The supporting cast
Parrotfish, snapper, queen conch, sea fans, wading birds and the occasional manatee round out the bay's cast. Wildlife is wild, so nothing's guaranteed — but that's exactly what makes every sighting feel like a gift. Keep your eyes peeled and your camera ready.
