Visit Key Largo
The first of the islands that make up the Florida Keys, Key Largo is one of the southern state’s most beautiful areas, home to swaying palm trees, white-sanded beaches and a laid-back atmosphere best experienced from the comfort of a hammock!
Key Largo’s biggest and most famous draws have to be the plentiful scuba diving hotspots that run along and out of the coast. Here you can enjoy a huge number of coral reefs, underwater rock formations and wrecks, and if you’re averse to diving with a tank of air on your back, there are plentiful snorkelling areas to enjoy as well.
Add activities such as kayaking, canoeing and fishing, as well as trips around nature parks, and on glass-bottomed boats, you’ve got a great array of outdoor locations that are perfect for enjoying warm weather and plenty of sun in amongst the mangroves and islands.
Then there’s all the delicious food you’d expect from a sunny coastal location, including fabulous seafood restaurants that are perfect for sating your appetite after an afternoon spent shopping for deals and mementos.
Visit Key West
If you’re looking for a tranquil getaway, Key West is the location for you. Located as far south as you can possibly get in Florida, here you can indulge in the fantastic surroundings, enjoying the beaches, beauty and some of the best eateries around!
Serving up plenty of fresh seafood bespoke to the area, you can sample culinary delights at one of Key West’s many raw bars. If you’re a fan of fresh oysters and shrimp, make sure you try the local dishes!
Key West is a great area to get involved in a new activity. Thanks to the island location, there’s plenty of space and opportunity to try out a new hobby on the waves, such as jet skiing, windsurfing and more. And for those who’d rather explore under the waves, snorkelling and diving are a great pastime to experience here too.
