The island of Key Largo is home to the towns of North Key Largo, Key Largo and Tavernier. Key Largo is particularly well-known for its diving and being close to the Everglades, it also attracts kayakers, birders and other eco-tourists. Naturally beautiful, it is also home to a community of artists.

Middle Keys - Islamorada, Marathon & Matecumbe
Made up of five islands or Keys, Islamorada is known as the Village of Islands and is also renowned as being the fishing capital of the world as it is so close to the Gulf Stream. The islands of Upper and Lower Matecumbe Keys are located within Islamorada and contain a number of Indian mounds and middens, as well as being home to the main base of the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base.
In the Middle Keys, the city of Marathon – “the heart of the Florida Keys” – spreads over a number of islands and is separated from the Lower Keys to the south by the Seven Mile Bridge. It is well-known for its scuba diving and sport fishing, being an excellent place to catch dolphin, marlin and big sharks! For the less adventurous, Crane Point is a well preserved tropical hardwood grove with a historical home of an early 20th Century settler family. Grassy Key, located next to Marathon Key, features the Dolphin Research Center – a great day out for adults and children.
