Eureka Large Solar Shade Tent

Versatile protection from sun and wind.
Customer Review: Wonderful Item
Bought this item for use at the beach. Used recently and put up and took down 4 days in a row. Very easy to use and worked perfectly. Provided great relief from the sun and wind when needed. Actually put up in a strong wind one day with a little difficulty...but once up, stayed in place even in strong gusts. We used the stakes and filled the sand bags...plus I built up sand to block wind from going underneath. It worked great. I would strongly recommend for anybody who wants to spend a lot of time at beach but requires occasional relief from sun or wind - especially great for a nap!!!
Customer Review: Great Product BUT I'M FURIOUS!
This is an excellent tent, but I bought it as a gift for Christmas and the people who shipped it to me shipped it in it's retail packaging, thus ruining the surprise. When my other half came home from work, there was his Christmas present sitting on the front door clearly showing on the packaging what the item was. What a Christmas bummer.


Bahia Honda State Park has something very unusual for the Florida Keys.

It has a beach. And a really nice one too.

Although the Florida Keys are islands, natural beaches are very rare indeed. Why? Mainly because the waters surrounding the Keys are so calm, the sand doesn't get a chance to build up. Bahia Honda has the best beach in the Florida Keys, and possibly the best in Florida.

Things to Do and See

Swimming is a popular activity at Bahia Honda. The turquoise waters are warm, in the upper 70's to the 80's most of the year, and very clear. Although the beach faces out to the Atlantic Ocean, unless there is a storm out to sea, the waters are calm.

Along with swimming, snorkeling is a big draw to Bahia Honda. The same calm, clear waters that invite swimming are excellent for exploring the underwater world. And if you really want a treat, take a snorkeling tour from Bahia Honda out to Looe Key and visit the coral reef.

Kayaking and boating are also on the list of fun things at the park. There is a small marina and a boat ramp. If you have somehow misplaced your boat, you can rent a kayak from the park concession. The calm waters are great for exploring the nooks and crannies of the island, especially on the Gulf side.

Why Not Stay Awhile?

Let's not forget camping. From tents to RVs to renting one of their beach cabins, all kinds of camping are available. Here's a caveat: call ahead to reserve a camping spot or especially one of the cabins. As you might imagine, a beach cottage in paradise has a bit of a waiting list.

Bahia Honda State Park is located in the lower Florida Keys, just south and west of the Seven Mile Bridge. One visit and you'll understand why they call the Florida Keys the American Caribbean.

So come on down for a visit.

The weather is fine and the natives are friendly.
