What: Sun, Fun, and Adventure await you as we travel to the Keys and Bahia Honda State Park – described as having the
Best Beach in the Continental U.S.! This southern most state park is unique for its beach dune and mangrove landscape nestled in between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of
Mexico. A fun weekend is planned for you to enjoy water sports, beautiful beach setting, and the usual Mosaic camping fun. Highlight of the weekend will be a snorkeling trip to Looe Key, which is one of the most spectacular
living reefs in the Florida Keys. Start the weekend on Friday evening with our Shabbat Dinner to be served about 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, after a leisurely breakfast you are free to go kayaking (requires extra fee), swimming, or sunbathe on the park's beautiful beachfront. There's also the possibility of a Park Ranger guided hike. After a light lunch, we head out to Looe Key for an afternoon of snorkeling. Then back to camp for a hearty dinner. On Sunday, after we pack up, those who wish to explore more of the area will travel to the nearby Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge to view the elusive and endangered miniature Key Deer before heading home. This is one weekend you won't soon forget!
