Default Florida reefs - snorkelling with kids?

Looking at a possible vacation to Floridashire next year. Is there anywhere that has easy snorkelling near coral reefs that would be suitable for kids? Thanks

Just about anywhere along the Keys area I would think. The water is very shallow there. One of my aerial pics taken near Key West shows just how shallow...

We used to snorkel with the kids when they were youngish.. 8 - 12? Can't remember now how old. Plenty of ordinary, safe beaches where there are coral outcrops or rocks right offshore. We used to go to Red Reef Beach in Boca Raton for instance..
