Grecian Rocks - Key Largo FL


Loading...


N 25° 06.711’
W 080° 18.312’ Key Largo Fl. Grecian Rocks is about 3/4 of a mile south-southwest of the Christ of the Deep. Mooring Buoys marked with a, "G" outline this shallow reef which is a prime location for snorkeling. The 4 to 6 foot depth in many areas draws snorkelers to the large amounts of tropical fish. The entire area ranges in depth from 4fsw to 25fsw. 75 ft. south lies an old Spanish cannon that was placed there several years ago. The reef itself is 1/2 a mile long and during low tide, part of the area is awash. Many of the fish as well as queen conch in this area can be seen on the white sand plateau that joins the reef. The fish are friendly and some are interested in being hand-fed. There is a beautiful cluster of star coral on the shoreward side of the reef.
The reef also contains a Sanctuary Preservation Area (SPA) which is .3 square nautical miles. GPS Location: N 25° 06.711’ W 080° 18.312’
