Florida Keys Vacations

The Florida Keys lie between the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. This buoyant string of 120 or so miniature mangrove-fringed tropical islands meanders off the southern tip of Florida, connected by the 113-mile Overseas Highway, a continuation of U.S. Route 1. The highway winds its way across the water from Key Largo to Key West. The Southernmost Point Buoy in Key West, Florida, marks the last spot of the continental United States.

Overview

On the Florida Keys, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and anything involving a tropical cocktail and a night on the town go with the territory. Flavorful local cuisine includes such island favorites as conch fritters, key lime pie and stone crab.

Biscayne National Park lies at the northern tip of the Keys. Ninety-five percent of this 172,971-acre park is water and its lush shores are lined with mangrove forests. Florida Reef, one of the largest coral reefs in the world, lies to the north.

Now, more than ever, Key West’s motto – One Human Family – rings true. Although life may not always be a party, it does go on; and visitors to the Keys will surely realize that tolerance and community remain key elements to living a happy life in paradise.
