Like a string of pearls tossed casually into the sea, the Florida Keys are a series of islands linked together by 42 bridges with the Atlantic Ocean on one side, and Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.
Just one hour south of Miami sits Key Largo, home to North America's only living coral reef and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Snorkeling and diving the reef off the Keys is an unforgettable experience with over 500 wrecks to explore and crystal clear waters with visibility up to 120 feet.

Twenty minutes further south is Islamorada, known as the Village of Islands and internationally proclaimed as the Sport Fishing Capital of the World. The Keys are home to some of the best fishing spots on earth. Snook, tarpon, snapper, bonefish, sailfish, marlin, grouper, mahi-mahi, shrimp and lobster abound. Sailing, yachting, pleasure boating, wave running, kayaking, speed boating, sport fishing, flats fishing, reef fishing, deep sea fishing, parasailing, swimming, snorkeling, diving or just floating, enjoy it all in the friendly waters of Key Largo, Islamorada and the Upper Keys.

Marathon is referred to as the Heart of the Keys. Marathon is located in the center of the Florida Keys. No other island or attraction in the Keys is more than 60 minutes away. Perhaps the best known icon of Marathon is the Seven Mile Bridge, the longest segmental bridge in the world. Beside its new concrete counterpart, the old Seven Mile Bridge jets into the sea like a giant fishing pier, inviting anglers, walkers and nature lovers to enjoy one of the Florida Keys' most scenic and historic treats.

Spend some time in Big Pine Key and the Lower Keys you may to see the famous and endangered miniature Key deer.

Key West is the southernmost point in the United States and the farthest from the US mainland. Key West is the end of the road in our chain of islands It's a city where real estate titles date back to the Kings of Spain. It's filled with palm-lined streets and gingerbread mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House and Ernest Hemingway's home. Its history includes Thomas Edison, Lou Gehrig, Harry Truman, and Tennessee Williams. It's home of the treasure of the Spanish galleon, La Nuestra Senora de Atocha. All on an island only four miles long by two miles wide.

Each morning the sun delivers a spectacular ocean side sunrise, and each evening an unbelievable sunset over Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. In between nature dazzles us with sparkling watercolor vistas and treats us to wildlife enjoyed nowhere else on earth. Life just doesn't get any better than this...
