Good to know

Local Keys Guide recommends Original Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen for classic Keys cooking, Snappers Oceanfront Restaurant & Bar for dinner on the water, and The Catch Restaurant & Bar for fresh local fish.
What are the best things to do in the Upper Florida Keys?
Local Keys Guide recommends starting underwater at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, then heading south to Robbie’s of Islamorada to hand-feed tarpon and Anne’s Beach for shallow, calm water. Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park shows the ancient coral the islands are built on.
What are some hidden gems in the Upper Keys?
