Guide to Key Largo

Come and soak up Key Largo's captivating natural treasures and treat yourself to the getaway of a lifetime on this tropical island paradise

Just the words Key Largo conjure up images of sizzling white sands, cool sea breezes and screen legends Bogart and Bacall. You can almost picture yourself here already, sitting in the surf with a zingy tequila to hand. Sliding down from the foot of Florida, this exotic slice of the Keys is sandwiched between the enchanting wilderness of the Everglades National Park and the underwater wonderland of North America's only living coral barrier reef. And as the northernmost isle and less than an hour from Miami, it really is the gateway to all the treasures this region has to offer.

Nicknamed the Dive Capital of the World, its a water sports paradise with glittering turquoise-green waters ready and waiting for snorkelling, diving, fishing and much, much more. If you're seeking an underwater adventure while you're here, get ready to be spoilt rotten. A visit to the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is a definite must on your tick list. You'll find 800 square miles of protected offshore reef here, along with the 9-foot Christ of the Deep bronze statue resting at the bottom. If you don't want to get wet, hop on a glass bottom boat tour or kayak through the mangrove trails.
