The Florida Keys are the fishing and diving capital of America. The proximity of
Key Largo and the
Upper Keys to the Florida mainland make it a favorite destination for
weekend getaways for people seeking a break from the hustle and
stress of their week-day lives. The Upper Keys extend from Key
Largo south to Long Key and the majority of visitors arrive via U.S.
Hwy 1.

Key Largo was at
one time named Rock Harbor but with the success of the 1948 film Key
Largo the town fathers couldn't pass up a great opportunity and
renamed the town.
The town is more developed than its neighbors to the
south and caters to bigger numbers of visitors.
Many of those visitors
are water enthusiasts coming to explore the renowned John Pennekamp
Coral Reef State Park, the nation's first underwater state park.
This marine sanctuary is home
to 40 species of coral and more than 650 species of fish. The
park covers 75 sq miles of of ocean containing living coral reefs and
has 170 acres of land with walking trails.

 Islamorada, which
actually consists of four islands spanning about 20 miles (32 km), is
the self proclaimed sport fishing capital of the world. Several
big-purse fishing tournaments take place here.
Considered to be
the unofficial capital of the Upper Keys, the town offers excellent
dining opportunities and plenty of entertainment.
Key Largo and
Islamorada accommodation has something for everybody, with large
up market beach resorts, condominiums, hotels, inns, chain motels and
bed & breakfast lodgings.
Getting
There
By far the majority of
visitors to the Upper Keys use the U.S. 1 Highway from
Miami. Greyhound
has a service from Miami to all the Keys destinations. There is an
airport at
Marathon
in the Middle Keys and at Key
West in the Lower Keys. There are no public transport services and
visitors need to make use of
car rentals to get around.
