About this site
Horseshoe Reef is a reef in the Florida Keys off Key Largo that sits a bit closer to shore than many of the other reef sites. It has light current and very good visibility.
The reef is known for large schools of fish and good marine life. Only a few mooring buoys are available, so the site is often in demand, and you may have to wait for a buoy to free up.
