Hello out there 😂 I just love you guys💖

[@newtondeltoro9513]

bahia honda the most beautiful state park on the planet soo gorgeous strong turquoise blue water sooo beautiful looks like a piece of paradise

[@whipsplash6943]

It's really grown since my Bride and I tent camped there in April 49 years ago on our honeymoon. We were near the old hwy and had both the ocean and bay side beaches to ourselves for the most part. Thanks for the tour.

[@ifly64s]

We just returned from Key West. I'm retired military so we stayed at the Sigsbee RV Park just off the coast of Key West. It's part of Key West Naval Air Station and cost $34 per night with no tax. We were 1.2 miles from downtown Key West.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Great location there at Sigsbee!!

[@usa91787]

Do you have to be retired military or will regular veterans get in?

[@ifly64s]

@@usa91787 I believe you have to be active, retired or disabled veteran but the website states the requirements.

[@garretlewis4103]

We wouldn’t mind camping there. I too have heard it is VERY difficult to score a reservation. Good tour of the park.

[@dawnpiercy539]

Great one, thanks for sharing.

[@IreneIronTravels]

My pleasure!

[@bendemby924]

0:22 How many different bridge engeers did Henery Flagler have build the railway from Miami to Key West? A great book on this is the Last Train To Paridace bt LesLast Train to Paradise by Les Standiford. Build the train tracks by floating cities, great story... Then the Hurricane hit. Also, another great Florida book is the A Land Remembered by Patrick Smith. 👍👍👍👍

[@carmancloud]

The editing and voice over explanation of the park graphic was ! 👏

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Carman!!!

[@chasemcrae8607]

Your videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing the history behind some of the places you stay.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for watching!

[@brucerenick8895]

There is a book about the Flagler project that I got from pigeon key. Great reading on the history of an ambitious man. You can now ride or walk on the old bridge to pigeon key. It wasn’t open yet when we were there and we used a boat tour to get there. Highly recommend.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the info! We really want to visit pigeon key!

[@darrelldement1423]

Best video yet. Great format. Highly superior cover photo. Keep up the fire!

[@danielunderhill6086]

We used to jump off that old train bridge (lower level) when we were kids in early ‘80s.

[@grayfox9911]

Looks pretty there. Y'all have fun!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! We didn't have the best weather that day, but still amazing! 😊🐕🐕

[@rvfuntimes6144]

We stayed in the park and did the boat tour to go see the Monster Groupers Fish was bigger than the boat.

[@danrandall794]

Great video. So many memories. Back in the early 90's we towed our family cruiser boats down to the keys and spent three days right there at the docks. Way more developed now but still my favorite spot in the keys. People were shocked if they noticed our MN registration on the boats. Glad you guys got a beach day. Great sand there.

[@antonionascimento5319]

lindo vídeo e boa sorte

[@philandthedash1682]

We went to the beach there last year and really didn't explore the entire park. Now, we can't wait to try and secure one of those tent sites. Great video

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks!

[@pattyk8594]

Excellent video! Thanks guys!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@smokenjoe1194]

You found my most fav parks. Luv it

[@amyomeara2515]

What a cool video, I felt like I was there with you guys ❤

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Amy!!

[@FINELINEVAN]

We stayed at Honda state. It’s a slice of heaven tough to get in. I got lucky while we were in the keys by going on line and saw a few nights open.

[@cindylieser3123]

We were just there last week. Y’all must have been there right before we got there. This makes me want to go back there. One week was not long enough. Great video!!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

So cool!

[@shelleymcquillin7329]

I'm loving the travel vlogs!! ❤

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Shelley! We are hiving fun with them! 😊

[@peggyconway2900]

Thanks, we tried book there but I luck. Maybe next year ❤

[@IreneIronTravels]

I hope so too!

[@dako9912]

Great video. Glad you've enjoyed the area. I grew up in the keys in 70's&80's and I spent many a summer on the beaches of Bahia Honda with the family. My high school job was working on Sunshine key at the RV park there.😊. Wonderful memories.

[@Road_Trip_Warriors]

Nice video! We stayed at BH SP in mid December on site 30 (not waterfront) and this is one of the nicest parks in FL but you are correct, the road noise is constant and does detract somewhat from the experience. Sandspur Beach, IMO, is the nicest beach in the Keys because many of the beaches there can be rocky (although some do prefer that). Getting into BH can be almost impossible and we used a service called Arvie and got a spot in about 4 weeks. The Buttonwood section is really the only one that can accommodate larger RV's because Bayside has a height limit of 6; 8" and Sandspur can only accommodate rigs up to 23 feet.

[@kath121]

That's my FAVORITE beach! We go there just about every time we go to stay at our friend's house on Geiger Key. 😉👍

[@jeffsteele1295]

Now this is nice thank you.

[@judegypsywoman3934]

If you want to see another Flagler gem, go to St. Augustine and take a tour of Flagler College. He had Tiffany design much of the interior.

[@brucegustafson6943]

Terrific video! Thanks for sharing

[@IreneIronTravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!!

[@okinawadonkichi]

Great video, we will have to check out the state park the next time we are down there! Have fun!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you Don! Yes, definitely worth the price of admission ! We'll be back for sure!

[@gRosh08]

Uncle Remus said… what? A two mile bike ride on the nut? Well, okay, if he must. Uncle Remus said… he loves the beach.

[@mgv00]

I hope you check out Pigeon Key as well. And the hurricane memorial in Islamorda.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We haven't yet!!! 😊

[@basement_livin]

It’s a great little park! :) Did you see any Key Deer down the road?

[@IreneIronTravels]

We didnt explore Big Pine much at all! We'll have to and we really want to see the deer!

[@melissaeaves4824]

I’m not used to seeing you with makeup, how pretty you look❤

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you!! 💘

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

Did you see 1StrangeAdventure during your stay and time at the park?

[@IreneIronTravels]

We did not!

[@jamestreanor182]

The LTV drove right in

[@gRosh08]

Uncle Remus said… that $100.00 back in 1878 was like $2,488.00 of money today. Wow!

[@coachsean9982]

We will be heading to Florida in April. I think we will try to hit the keys. I guess I should probably stalwart making reservations now. 😂😂

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes!!! 🤣

[@brucefranklin6765]

Bahia Honda beach is nice, but there are beaches accessible by boat on the north side of the Contents Keys that are better.

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

I noticed that you were filming in the state park, did you have to purchase permit for that

[@IreneIronTravels]

Permits are required if disrupting others enjoyment or park resource protection. 😊

[@Road_Trip_Warriors]

You may be thinking about the regulations for National Parks. Those don't apply to FL state parks (or, I would guess, any state park).

[@richardswann2937]

Nice thumbnail Aaron.

[@anthonysantacruz5898]

wish they would clean the algae

[@k1ghz960]

You say I must book ahead 11 months, but I wanted to go next weekend? No thanks.

[@floridastate4604]

cool thumb nail

[@TomSpurlock]

It's pronounced "Bay a Honda". Starting Jan 2024 all Florida residents get a 1 month advantage to book Florida state parks, over non Florida residents. It will be impossible for any out of state residents to book a campsite at any of the Florida Keys state park campgrounds. I know, I booked exactly 11 months ahead (to the second) in April 2022 for March 2023, and it was almost impossible. I lucked out and got a reservation with the help of some back door hacking of the reservation service. But now, that's changed, and the window is now 10mos advance for non residents, and 11 months in advance for Florida resident. So good luck thinking you have a chance to book a campsite at Bahia Honda if you're not a Florida resident. It just won't happen.

[@kath121]

The Flagler Museum in Palm Beach is amazing, FYI! If you drive by there on the way out, I highly recommend it.

[@mkp3824]

Just a little snippet of a bikini shot? You work too hard not to show off a bit more! 😂 Good video! Hope you had fun.

[@dustinhedenberg6190]

It's full of bull sharks. Injoy

[@cocochanel9291]

I thought this was our little secret??

[@IreneIronTravels]

🤭 Ooops the secrets out! 🤣 We'll have to share!

[@williamarmstrong9970]

Christina you are a beautiful lady, but you look even better WITHOUT the fake eye lashes.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you! Those are real eye lashes though. 😊

[@Scrambler85]

Your best thumbnail ever 👍👍👍

[@bertkelly7650]

Jealous!

[@johnphillips8088]

Me too👍🏼

[@IreneIronTravels]

Not trying Bert! 😊 We are thankful for the opportunity!

[@ssettev9361]

I love it at Bahia Honda. 🩵💚🩵 I'm returning in 2 weeks. Can't wait. Great video, giving us a glimpse of other sections. 😁
