A snorkeling excursion to Alligator Reef Lighthouse offers a premier aquatic experience. The site is distinguished by its consistently clear water, which allows for exceptional visibility of the vibrant marine ecosystem below. The historic lighthouse structure serves as a unique focal point, attracting a dense and diverse population of fish and other sea life. Snorkelers can expect to encounter impressive schools of tropical fish, colorful coral formations, and a thriving underwater environment. The reef's accessibility and the sheer abundance of marine biodiversity make it a superior destination for underwater exploration. This location is highly recommended for those seeking a memorable and high-caliber snorkeling adventure in the Florida Keys.

The water/reef here is awesome, the wife and I went here the week prior to Labor day 2021 and the water in the morning was like glass the weather channel said 1mph wind a perfect day for snorkeling/boating at the Lighthouse, there are tons of fish here around and especially under the lighthouse and even saw star fish and a 6’ nurse shark. The turquoise/Safire colored water has to be seen to be believed. The depth at the light house was around 11’ when not over the top of the reef. This area is beautiful.

Этот 140-летний маяк у побережья Флорида-Кис отмечает место крушения военного корабля, который когда-то бороздил просторы Карибского моря, охотясь на пиратов.

Риф, населенный более чем 500 видами морских обитателей, затонувшее судно охотников на пиратов и 144-летний маяк — все это находится всего в четырех морских милях от берега Исламорады в архипелаге Флорида- Кис.

Маяк Аллигатор Риф, построенный в 1873 году, стоит на страже в честь своего тезки, USS Alligator . В 1822 году, всего через два года после спуска на воду, военно-морская шхуна отправилась на поиски и освобождение кораблей, захваченных в пиратских водах Карибского моря. В Аллигатор Риф, печально известном труднопроходимом районе, молодой корабль сел на мель.

Моряки отчаянно пытались спасти его, но в конце концов им пришлось отказаться от судна. Чтобы не дать пиратам захватить его, они сняли с него все, что можно было спасти, и подожгли. Вскоре судно взорвалось, оставив на дне мелководья только обломки и обломки.

Многие другие суда были погружены в глубины этого рифа, что в конечном итоге привело к созданию маячной станции. Отдельно стоящая установка и ее фонарь стоили в то время 185 000 долларов, что эквивалентно более 3 750 000 долларов в сегодняшних долларах. Для поддержки конструкции потребовались 12-дюймовые железные сваи, вбитые в 10 футов коралла специальным молотом, который весил (буквально) тонну.

Несмотря на свое неблагоприятное начало, 136-футовый маяк все еще стоит почти полтора века спустя. При средней глубине 20 футов окружающий риф идеально подходит для любителей снорклинга и дайвинга, желающих исследовать побережье Карибского моря во Флориде. Здесь есть лангусты, рыбы-попугаи, барракуды и обильные кораллы — все это на беспорядочном кладбище кораблекрушений. Где-то там внизу находятся останки...
