Recommended Places in the Florida Keys
The island chain is geographically divided into Upper Keys, Middle Keys, and Lower Keys. The Upper Keys, which include Key Largo and Islamorada, are closest to the mainland. This is usually where the journey begins or day trips from Miami start. The Middle Keys include places like Marathon and the Seven Mile Bridge. And the Lower Keys with Big Pine Key and the famous Key West are the furthest southwest.
Time for the Islands
Water, lots of water – turquoise, warm, and clear – surrounds the seemingly paradisiacal Florida Keys. The 112-mile-long island chain holds many surprises.
What Makes the Florida Keys Special
The Keys at the southernmost tip of Florida form a unique tropical island paradise that stretches for hundreds of miles over turquoise water on both sides of the road and bridges. Here, the journey is the destination. The Overseas Highway makes the drive an unforgettable experience. The approximately 200 inhabited and uninhabited islands offer a perfect mix of Caribbean flair, maritime culture, and fascinating nature. They are ideal for snorkeling, diving, or fishing.
