About the Florida Keys

Key Largo

Once called Rock Harbor, but renamed after the popular 1948 movie Key Largo starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. A portion of the movie was filmed in Key Largo.

Key Largo provides residents and visitors alike, opportunities to never want to leave. It has diving, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, biking, Arts & Entertainment, shopping, or interacting with the dolphins.

Tavernier

Tavernier is a census-designated place (CDP) and unincorporated community in Monroe County, Florida, United States on Key Largo, the largest island in the upper Florida Keys.

Tavernier offers the best of Florida, from water sports to scuba diving to lounging on the beach. Located right in the Florida Keys, it’s a tropical paradise filled with ocean adventures.

Tavenier offers water activities such as paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, jet skiing, or sailing. If you like land, feel great riding bikes on the trails or stroll through the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center.

Islamorada

Measuring only 20 miles long and, in some places, barley 150 feet wide, Islamorada is a collection of islands located in the Florida Keys.

Legend has it the area was named by Spanish explorers who, upon seeing the purple sky at sunset and the purple bougainvillea, called it “isla morado” or purple island.

Islamorada is known as the Sport-Fishing Capital of the World. And recently the island was named one of the 17 most romantic destinations in the U.S.

Marathon is a city of Florida in the United States located in the Heart of the Florida Keys. The City of Marathon consists of Knight's Key, Boot Key, Key Vaca, Fat Deer Key, Long Point Key, Crawl Key and Grassy Key islands in the middle Florida Keys, in Monroe County.

Tour the area's railroad history at Pigeon Key Island for the history buffs.

Big Pine Key

If you're looking for a low-key vacation, Big Pine Key is the place for you.

In Big Pine Key, about 100 miles south of Miami and 30 miles north of Key West, you'll find relaxing, water-borne activities such as boating, fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

Fishing, of course, means seafood, and you'll find some great seafood restaurants in Big Pine Key and on nearby keys.

Don't miss the beautiful white sand beaches at Bahia Honda State Park.

At the National Key Deer Refuge, you can see the tiny – and very cute – wild deer known as Key deer. Actually, if you stay in Big Pine long enough you may see them just strolling around. It is amazing to spot them and I post them on Social Media whenever I am lucky enough to see them. The kids will love it, and so will you.

Key West

The Southernmost Point of the United States! Famous for watersports, lively nightlife, beaches, historic sites and its pastel, conch-style architechture.

There is always so much to do in Key West!
