Fun in the Sea & Sun

The Florida Keys are America's very own tropical vacation islands. Like a necklace of emerald beads, they stretch for 192 miles, ever westward from just south of Miami at Virginia Key to Loggerhead Key in the Dry Tortugas, between the vast yet shallow Florida Bay and the ever flowing Straits of Florida.

Fish On!

Here you are at last in the fabulous Florida Keys, where you'll find some of the best year round fishing. Deep sea trollers pull  magnificent game fish from the mighty Gulf Stream. Coral reefs team with snapper, mackerel, barracuda, and grouper. Backcountry guides will introduce you to fighters like tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish, trout, and snook.

Since this is some of the clearest water you'll find in the United States, you won't want to miss out on the tropical underwater delights. Mask, snorkel, and fins are an absolute must!
