You push away from the marina and the water opens—flat, glassy channels slicing between low mangrove roofs.

Key West’s shallow bays and mangrove shorelines have supported fisheries and small-boat work for centuries; the mangroves also protect low-lying coral-limestone flats from erosion.
Seagrass beds and mangroves are fragile—avoid dragging boats through beds, use reef-safe sunscreen, and pack out all trash to protect nursery habitat.
