4 Passenger Golf Cart

Why This Project?

The park was lacking in a practical vehicle to transport staff and guests other than in 2 seat work carts.  

4 Passenger Golf Cart

Thanks to the supporters of the Friends of Bahia Honda, we were able to purchase a used 4-seat gas powered golf cart in excellent condition at the cost of $4,000.

Project Completion and Details

The golf cart was purchased in June of 2020 for the park to accommodate employees that do not need a work cart during the course of the day.  A passenger golf cart helps when staff needs to transport small groups of people like contractors, new volunteers at orientation, or visiting staff from the District Office.  The Park Services Specialist is assigned the cart as a daily driver and to assist in overnight calls, but the cart will be available to any staff member who needs to use it for transporting guests.  
 
 

Welcome to Bahia Honda State Park

On the way to Key West, Bahia Honda offers the awestruck traveler the chance to ask “do I need to travel any further?”

Quick History

Henry Flagler’s bold effort to build a railroad to Key West in the early 1900s turned the remote island of Bahia Honda Key into a tropical destination.

Known for its iconic Florida scenery—palm-lined beaches, gin-clear waters and magnificent sunsets—visitors to the park enjoy balmy sea breezes that caress the shores year-round. Kayaks and snorkeling gear can be rented and boat trips to the reef for snorkeling excursions are available.

The park is also an excellent place to observe wading birds and shorebirds, while the Sand and Sea Nature Center introduces nature lovers to the island’s plants and animals.

The park, encompassing over 500 acres and an offshore island offers some of the best snorkeling and beachcombing in Florida. The perfect and quiet getaway for the entire family.

The concession service provider offers a complete gift shop, snack bar, kayak rentals and daily snorkeling tours to the fabulous Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary. The concessions are operated by the Coral Reef Park Co.
