Collecting in Key Largo and Islamorada Islands

[twistoflime]

This winter break we're going to Key Largo FL. I've researched alot and went to the FWC website. I'm familiar with all the regulations. I'm looking to collect between 1-3 fish (not many royal gramma, cardinal, possibly a atlantic blue tang) and a few soft corals. I've heard Anne's beach in Islamorada is a great place. I can't scuba dive so no places to deep. Does any one know a good beach/reef?

There is a reef on the Atlantic side of Islamorada...I can't remember the name of it but any of the locals know it. There are tie-off buoys there already. You can rent a small boat pretty cheaply to get to it. It's maximum depth is only 25 ft.

Most any of the patch reefs outside of the marine sanctuaries are great snorkeling sites.
