From quiet Card Sound at the northern tip of the Keys
to the eye-opening sights of Key West, this region has
attractions for almost every traveler. Nature-lovers,
kayakers and hikers come in droves to explore the
Everglades, a jewel in the crown of the national park
system that, despite its popularity, remains one of the
most natural areas in the country. Divers and anglers
head offshore, where the inviting blue waters of the
Atlantic offer shipwrecks and reefs, blue marlin and
tarpon. Folks from every walk of life head to Key West,
known throughout the world for its tolerant lifestyle.
They stay at one of the town’s quaint and historic B&Bs
or, if it suits, one of the many gay-friendly resorts. As
the sun drops, this eccentric town comes alive with a
fantastic nightlife that is truly a feast for the senses.
Throughout, visitors can dine on fresh, tasty seafood
unloaded daily at the shore.
Join Florida expert Bruce Morris as he takes you to all the sights and sounds of this unique
vacation destination. Learn about the top dive sites, the quietest fishing holes, the most
lucrative beachcombing spots and the best wildlife-watching areas, along with which
operators offer quality excursions and reliable service. Adventures run the gamut from mild
to wild, as do the festivals, some of which are not suitable for kids (the author tells you in
advance) but tons of fun to watch or even join.
