Key Largo, the northernmost island of the
Florida Keys island chain, lies only an hour’s
drive from South Florida’s two major airports.
Yet it is a world away. For a visual
introduction to the sights of Key Largo,
please peruse our iPIX virtual panoramic
tours.
As you look at the tropical hardwoods, the
winding creeks, and the stunning coral
formations, it is no wonder Hollywood chose
to film scenes from the movies “PT 109” and
“Key Largo” here.
Key Largo is sandwiched between the watery
wilderness of the Everglades National Park
to the west and the fish-covered coral
formations of North America’s only living
coral barrier reef to the east.
Six miles offshore in the Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary you will find the
wreck of the Spiegel Grove, a 510-foot Navy
ship intentionally scuttled in June 2002 as
the backbone for a new coral reef.
Locals consider their home the Diving
Capital of the World but the island is nearly
as famous as a sport-fishing destination.
Some of the best charter captains and
fishing guides in the world work out of Key
Largo. You can go after sailfish offshore,
bonefish along the Atlantic shallows, or
redfish and tarpon in Florida Bay.
Key Largo’s proximity to the Everglades
makes it a premier destination for kayakers,
birders and other eco-tourists. All this beauty,
not to mention the island’s rich history, has
inspired a vibrant community of artists who
show there work at several local galleries.
When the day is done, you can trade stories
at any of a full-range of restaurants, bars,
hotels, motels and resorts. Each is as
unique as Key Largo itself.
Come visit Key Largo. Like all the Keys, you'll
find it's rich in history.
The staff of the Key Largo Chamber of
Commerce are ready to answer your
questions.

Islamorada
Imagine two seas brimming
with the world's most
sought-after gamefish:
Sailfish, tuna and dolphin in
our Atlantic, and a grand
slam shot at permit, tarpon,
and bonefish in the
backcountry waters of
Florida Bay. Add to that a
selection of some of the
finest charter boat captains
and backcountry guides
around, and you're in
Islamorada, Sport Fishing
Capital of the World. An
array of marine life inhabits
the patch coral reef
alongside our islands,
making Islamorada a
favorite also for divers.
Landlubbers, on the other
hand, may prefer viewing
acrobatic dolphin and other
deep sea stars at Windley
Key's Theater of the Sea. For
a visual introduction to the
sights of the Lower Keys,
please peruse our iPIX
virtual panoramic tours.
The shops and galleries at
Treasure Village and the
Rain Barrel on Plantation
Key offer a colorful collection
of arts, crafts, and other
creative island treasures.
Robbie's Marina on Lower
Matecumbe Key sells
buckets of bait for feeding
swarms of tarpon that linger
off the dock. Islamorada and
its surrounding areas also
boast several state parks.
At Long Key State
Recreation Area, campers
can kick back or meander
nature trails. Added trails
are offered at Windley Key
Quarry Fossil Reef State
Geologic Site, where acres
of fossilized coral and an
environmental center are
at-hand, and at Lignumvitae
Key State Botanical Site-an
island with the highest
elevation in the Keys: a
dizzying 18 feet.

Discover a city where real estate titles date
back to the Kings of Spain. Stroll the
palm-lined streets and discover gingerbread
mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the
John Audubon House and Ernest
Hemingway's home. Walk in the footsteps of
Thomas Edison, Lou Gehrig, Harry Truman,
and Tennessee Williams. Gaze at the fabled
treasure of the galleon Atocha. Discover
tomorrow's fine art treasures by Key West's
well-known and unknown artists. In Key West
you can use convenient public transportation,
taxis, pedi-cabs, tour trains, trolleys, bicycles
or even your own two feet to see the sights.
For a visual introduction to the sights of Key
West, please peruse our iPix virtual
panoramic tours.
Only in Key West would the sun shine
brightest when it sets. Everyone gathers for
the never planned, always varied Sunset
Celebration on the Mallory Dock. Once the
sun is safely tucked away by jugglers,
mimes, musicians and street artists, the city
moves to a different beat. A night beat. The
streets, filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air
bars, legendary pubs and world-class
restaurants come alive. Gourmets and
gourmands alike treat their palates to island
specialties. Drama, musicals and comedy
flourish on our stages. As you enjoy these
sights, you'll discover that modern Key West
is a warm-hearted place where all are
welcome. The city's vibrant Gay and Lesbian
Community helped spearhead the island's
economic and social revival in the 1980's.

Tucked away amid the heart of the Marathon shopping district lies a 64-acre
tropical oasis of hardwood trees, nature trails and educational displays for
adults and children.
This is Crane Point Hammock, a slightly elevated patch of land where a
Bahamian immigrant and his family set up homestead in the early 20th century.
Today, the entire area is owned and managed by the Florida Keys Land and
Sea Trust, a private organization working to protect the Keys.
Immigrant George Adderley and his family lived a simple life among exotic
tropical trees such as the lignumvitae, whose incredibly hard wood was once
used to make bowling balls. The Adderleys survived by making charcoal and
gathering and selling sponges from the crystal clear waters of the Keys.
The Adderleys no longer live here, but their home and its beautiful surroundings
remain. The Adderley home has been restored and is a popular stop along the
2.5 miles of trails and wooden walkways crisscrossing the hammock. Trolley
tours of the botanic gardens and historic sites can also be arranged.
Another popular stop along the trail is a small footbridge overlooking Florida
Bay. Here, you can get a sense of the vast waters where the Adderleys drew
their living.
