About the Florida Keys

The Florida Keys are the tropical heart of Florida. Located just south of the mainland, this grouping of small islands actually spans about 120 miles from north to south, beginning with Key Largo and winding up in exciting Key West. Most people identify South Florida with popular destinations like Fort Lauderdale and Miami, but the Florida Keys offers a very different experience. Instead of the hustle and bustle of their neighbors to the north, the Florida Keys offer a relaxing lifestyle centered on the water and laid back living. 

In the Florida Keys you can easily spend more time on the water than on land. Enjoy fishing? The Florida Keys is home to an amazing array of marine life, which has led to its designation as the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World.” Only here can you spend the morning trolling the shallow waters of the mangroves and the afternoon anchored on a coral reef. The Keys’ unique angling experience is bolstered by its division of bay and ocean fishing and the ease of accessing each environment, not to mention the sheer masses of diverse species found here. This has also led to the Florida Keys being known universally as one of the premiere diving and snorkeling spots in the world.

Key Largo, the northernmost island, is a quick hour drive from the big city attractions of Miami, with other mainland conveniences even closer. Crossing the bridge into the Keys, however, realizes an instant change of pace. The relaxing, tropical ambiance is what defines life in the Florida Keys. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or are looking to enjoy the fun entertainment found at the restaurants and leisure destinations that the Keys offer, the Florida Keys have a little something for everyone.

About the Upper Florida Keys

The Upper Florida Keys are the northernmost collection of islands in the Florida Keys. The area remains popular for its proximity to the mainland - providing convenience and leisure destinations that other areas in the Keys cannot offer. Metropolitan areas like Miami can be reached in under an hour, allowing residents to reach cultural and entertainment venues such as theaters, galleries, shopping malls, and more quickly and easily. The Upper Florida Keys also provide a wonderful tropical lifestyle and some of the most beautiful vistas anywhere in the Florida Keys. The area contains the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World,” drawing anglers the world over to its shores. Boating, fishing, diving, and other water sports remain a favorite in the Upper Florida Keys and provide unparalleled experiences.

Sport fishing and other waterbound activities are great in the Middle Keys and are popular with both residents and tourists alike.

About the Lower Florida Keys

The Lower Florida Keys are favored for their supreme natural beauty, untouched backcountry, and peaceful undercurrent. Being located further from the mainland has cultivated a community that revels in the tranquility of living off the beaten path and appreciates the unique beauty of the Florida Keys. With fewer tourist destinations, the Lower Keys - Big Pine Key included, is primarily residential. Residents are able to take advantage of fantastic off-shore fishing and diving spots on both the ocean and bay sides, as well as attractions such as the key deer that live nearby. The Lower Florida Keys house interesting boutique hotels, camping spots and RV locales, and family-friendly parks that are perfect for picnicking or other family enjoyments. In this region of the Keys, there are fewer commercial ventures like fast food joints, and more dedication to the natural aesthetic.

The Lower Keys are considered to begin at the start of the westerly turn of the islands, just after the easily recognizable Seven Mile Bridge. In addition to Big Pine Key, other islands in the Lower Florida Keys include Duck Key, Summerland Key, Big Torch Key and Little Torch Key, Sugarloaf Key, and Big Coppitt Key. Of course, also included in this list is the world famous Key West.
