What to Wear on a Snorkeling Trip in the Florida Keys

Dress smart and the reef gets a whole lot more comfortable.

Snorkel gear and reef-safe essentials laid out for a Key Largo trip

The right gear turns a good snorkel trip into a great one. You don't need much — but a few smart choices keep you comfortable, sun-safe and reef-friendly on a Key Largo snorkel sail.

The essentials

  • Rash guard or swim shirt. Sun protection that's kinder to the reef than lotion — wear it in the water.
  • Reef-safe sunscreen. Non-nano zinc for anywhere the shirt doesn't cover; skip oxybenzone.
  • Swimsuit under your clothes. Arrive ready so you maximize water time.
  • A hat, polarized sunglasses and a towel. For the sail out and back.
