CheckersMidwest Posted February 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We're taking the City View Hop on Hop Off tour. We'd like to just wander for the day. Is the USS Mohawk museum in a building or do you go ON the ship? Can you swim or hang out at Higgs Beach if you Hop off the tour there? Would the beach be better at the Zachary Park?

Aquahound Posted February 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Unfortunately, Mohawk is no longer here. It is now an artificial reef. However, CGC Ingham is here and is a great tour. It is the actual ship and it is a self guided tour though the ship. I recommend Ft Zachary beach over Higgs Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted February 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Another vote for Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. There is a small fee for the day. While there you can also tour the Civil War era fort. There are some nice views from atop the fort. Another place you might enjoy while you are touring the Ingham and before you get to Fort Zacahary Taylor is to go to the free Eco-Discovery science museum. It is dedicated to marine and bird life in and around the Florida Keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted February 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2013 If you have a snorkel and mask, take it with you to Ft. Zachary Beach. The snorkeling isn't the best I've ever done but it was fun. (You don't need fins.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
