Chokoloskee Bay

Everglades National Park, FL

The basics

A popular destination for fishermen, Chokoloskee Bay’s bountiful waters teem with a variety of saltwater fish, including grouper, flounder, and red fish. You can book a chartered fishing trip or eco tour of the bay. If you feel like a bit of exercise, consider kayaking your way through the mangroves.

For even more adventure check out Chokoloskee Island, which is connected to the state’s peninsula by a causeway from Everglade City. While there visit Smallwood Store, a historic general store that highlights the island’s sometimes-contentious history.
