Category: Florida Keys

We can never get enough time in the Florida Keys. Whether we’re diving off the coast of Key Largo or enjoy Pride celebrations in Key West, the Florida Keys are a destination for both adventure and relaxation. We visit very often and are careful to share our top recommendations for hotels and resorts, guided tours, restaurants in the Florida Keys and our best road trip tips.

With each visit, we learn more and more about the history and wildlife in the Florida Keys. No, we don’t have a favorite Key, but I can tell you that we spend the most time on Key Largo, Marathon and Key West. Kayaking in the Florida Keys is one of our favorite activities and we have LOTS of information about where to launch kayaks, Florida State Parks in the Keys with great paddling options, and even gear rentals.

Check back often for more Florida Keys travel info, as we visit the Keys several times a year and always have another trip on the books!
