THE FLORIDA KEYS ARE A TROPICAL PARADISE, stretching from Key Largo to Key West. Key Largo is the "Diving Capital of the World," with coral reefs and shipwrecks to explore. Marathon offers the serene Sombrero Beach and the Dolphin Research Center. Key West is a charming mix of Caribbean culture and American history, with attractions like Mallory Square, Duval Street, and Hemingway's home. Anchorages throughout the Keys are well-protected, and the turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling, fishing, and relaxing.
Another must-see spot is Bahia Honda State Park, located between Marathon and Big Pine Key. Its crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches are perfect for swimming or paddleboarding. For a more secluded experience, explore the Dry Tortugas National Park, accessible by boat, featuring a historic fort and unparalleled snorkeling opportunities.
