Laid-back Island Living in South Florida
Known for an abundance of world-class recreational activities ranging from fishing and boating to snorkeling and scuba diving, the beaches and turquoise waters of the Florida Keys are easily accessible from Miami. Consistent temperatures make the chain of islands a popular vacation spot year-round, and many visitors return to the tropical islands again and again. Nearby, Upper Matecumbe Key—easily accessible via Old Highway—offers some of the area’s best restaurants and shopping. Don't miss other unique attractions such as Dry Tortugas National Park, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, or quirky Duval Street, and be sure to stop for a picture by the marker designating the southernmost point in the continental United States.
