Florida Keys. Overview.
Florida Keys is made up of a string of thousands and thousands of islands but less than fifty are lived in. They are strung together by a 120 mile roadway. The further south away from Miami you explore, the more you feel like you are on an island tour and the prettier the landscape becomes. Being at the tip of Florida, Key West is most famous for the Florida Reef stretch of living coral. It has the most wonderful ocean life of dolphins, loggerhead turtles, watersports, fishing, snorkling and areas of stunning natural beauty and hikes through alligator parks.
Key Largo is the biggest of the ‘Keys’ having 170 acres of land, 75 square miles of ocean and is one of the ‘Upper Keys’. The Keys’ reputation is for brilliant underwater life. The Keys are warm and somewhat humid but not too hot and cooler than Miami, with the thunderstorm season towards the end of May. The nature trials are ecologically fascinating. A great adventure is to go on the Wild Tamarind Nature Trail.
