Holidays in Florida Keys

The three islands are connected via bridges and causeways. The first island, Key Largo, is renowned for its diving and snorkelling. Here you can explore the third largest barrier reef in the world, featuring several historical shipwrecks and the famous bronzed Statue of Christ of the Abyss. Heading south from Key Largo is Islamorada, known for its world class sport fishing, followed by Marathon Key, which is dotted with numerous luxurious resorts, then Big Pine Key, with its boating trips and tours.

Holidays in the Florida Keys are often based on the southernmost island, Key West, which is the most famous of all the keys. Key West has been transformed from a sleepy island into a wealthy tourist resort bursting with hotels, festivals, arts and entertainment. Measuring four miles by two miles, Key West is lapped by beautiful turquoise waters. Similar to Key Largo, Key West boasts spectacular opportunities for scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing.

Holidays in Key West also feature a wealth of beaches, from packed white-sand shores to secluded coves. One of the most famous excursions on Key West is the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, with its beautiful garden and countless cats. Other popular attractions include swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat, nature tours and boat trips. Fine seafood restaurants in Key West serve grouper, snapper, tuna, shrimp, crab and lobster to name but a few. Evening entertainment includes cabaret shows, lively bars, pulsating clubs and a popular gay scene.
