Florida Keys- is like a coral kingdom: a 125-mile long chain of islands thrown south from the tip of Florida with the main island — Key West — resting just 90 miles off the coast of Cuba. And with one narrow road (and 42 bridges) connecting the islands, just to travel to the Florida Keys is to experience a magical journey and be surrounded by water.
Although it's possible to ride a car in Miami and reach Key West (and the southernmost point on the continental United States) in less than four hours (traffic), it beats the charm and richness of the Florida Keys. Every few miles there are discoveries to come: tiki bars, seafood shops, beach resorts or boutique hotels, beautiful nature reserves, or just a turquoise view yesng thrilling across the famous saltwater plain toward the blue horizon. So, take the trip — spend a few days in Key Largo or Islamorada near the upper end of the nusantara, take the Marathon or Big Pine Key, then enjoy the unique and serious culture, history, and bohemia of Key West. Take time for snorkeling, diving, and fishing, taking a walk on the beach, and eating plenty of seafood (and Key lime pie). And don't worry if you don't
Tourist peak season in FlorIda Keys started right after the holidays in late December and lasted through May. During the winter months, it hardly ever rains, and even if the clouds hit with a little rain, they are gone that day. The subtropical climate of Keys means a comfortable year-round temperature (January high temperatures usually in the '70s), making it a remarkable destination when even Central Florida can experience snow. In summer, when the temperature reaches the heat range (the highest average of July is 86°F), crowds spread slightly and hotels tend to lower prices, which makes it a good time to visit if you are looking for a better offer and don't mind the heat and humidity. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, which means the weather is more turbulent and likely a dangerous storm (the peak hurricane months for the Florida Keys are between August 15 and October 15). It is said that some of the prettiest weather of the year — calm waters and fine clouds — also occurred during this period.
Festival in Florida Keys menarikattracts many people and can be a reason to go or a reason to choose another time for vacation, depending on the type of trip you are looking for. The peak festivals include Hemingway Key West Day (including the famous Hemingway-like contest) in July and Carnivalesque Fantasy Fest in October, the Original Marathon Seafood Festival in March, the 7 Mile Bridge Run (the only track surrounded by water throughout its entirety) in April, and the Key West Brewfest during Labor Day Weekend. (For a complete list of festivals and events, check the Florida Keys Tourism Bureau calendar , here .)
Florida Keys is a chain a 125-mile-long island that starts just south of Miami. The coral and limestone islands are connected by 42 bridges — one nearly seven miles long — over the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Florida, and the Gulf of Mexico. The Keys are divided into five areas: Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine and Lower Keys, and Key West.
Key Largo known as The Submarine Capital of the World and is home to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first undersea nature reserve in the U.S.
Islamorada known as The capital of Fishing Sports is in the world and is famous for the sports of inland fishing and saltwater fishing.
Seven Mile Bridge on Marathon is one of the longest segmented bridges in the world.
In the Lower Keys, Big Pine Toy is home to a national refuge that protects the endangered miniature deer Key, which has returned wonderfully from near extinction.
Key West, famous as the beloved home of writers Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams (and home to the warm and friendly LGBTQ+ scene), closer to Cuba (90 miles) than to Miami (159 miles). The island - measuring only twice four miles - is home to the vibrant historic district, the international airport, and the southernmost point on the continent of the United States.
The only way that meThe nghhind islands — Florida Keys Overseas Highway — are the southernmost part of US Highway 1 and are sometimes called Highway That Goes to Sea. Its green mile marker sign starts at mile marker 113 on the Miami-Dade/Monroe County line and goes down to marker 0 on Fleming and Whitehead street corners in Key West (a popular photo opportunity). Usually hotels, restaurants, and other sites peg the location to the nearest mile marker (MM). The trip from Miami to Key West usually takes four hours.
Waters around the chain, which covers shallow plains, mangrove islands, and reefs, protected by the Florida Keys National Marine Reserve. The Florida Keys Shipwreck Line connects nine historic undersea shipwrecks and artificial coral reefs from Key Largo to Key West.
Over the years, pensitting Florida Keys has prospered from agriculture, shipwreck rescue, sponge fishing, commercial fishing (the second largest industry in the Keys today) and tourism, the area's main economic driver. Tourism had the earliest boosters in railway baron Henry Flagler who completed the railway in 1912 that connected the Keys to take tourists south, but a storm in 1935 destroyed a segment that was never rebuilt. The Overseas Highway, completed in 1938, became the only way to travel among the Keys on land.
Classic dish Keys mincereflects the islands' exposure to Caribbean culture, and includes spicy clam cream soup, classic Cuban dishes such as ropa vieja and pork soaked in mojo sauce, Key West pink shrimp, and Key lime pie.
