Where Florida Meets the Caribbean
Just south of Miami lies a string of beautiful islands known as The Keys. Stretching approximately 120 miles southwest, these islands separate the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico. Originally coral reefs submerged underwater, they were linked together with a railway line at the beginning of the 20th century. It's fascinating to journey to the very tip where the incredibly charming city of Key West is located, with water on both sides as you pass a total of 45 islands.
Charming Towns Along the Way
Key Largo is the first island you encounter after leaving the mainland. Many consider it the world's diving capital, and Key Largo is also renowned as a sport-fishing destination. At the far end lies Key West, a gem of America famed for its architecture and botanical beauty. The city is bustling with shops, bars, and restaurants, offering a lively atmosphere. Key West is notable for its delightful sandy beach lined with palm trees.
The other islands vary in size, and it's well worth taking the time to stop and explore one or two along the way.
Cuisine - A Gastronomic Journey
As with the rest of Florida, The Keys boasts a wealth of great restaurants and outdoor dining options. Seafood is a staple on the menu, with many dishes prepared in a Caribbean style. Key West offers a wide range of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. In Key Largo, dining venues are more spread out as there is no defined town center.
