The Florida Keys is a stretch of islands 126 miles long connected by 42 bridges.  Highway 1, also called
the Overseas Highway, is the only road connecting all the islands together and connecting the islands to
the mainland.  Because everything is either to the right or to the left of the Highway, we call one side
'Oceanside' and the other 'Bayside' or 'Gulfside' with the exception of the island of Key West because it is
at the end of the string of islands.  Most of the time when we describe where something is, we say Mile
Marker and the number.  Mile Marker 0 starts the numbering and is in Key West.  We also break the
Florida Keys into three main sections - the Upper Keys, the Middle Keys and the Lower Keys.  The Upper
Keys is from MM 108 to 65 and is where Key Largo, Tavernier, and Islamorada are located. The Middle
Keys is from MM 64 to MM 40  and includes the city of Marathon and the 7-mile bridge.  Then the Lower
Keys is from MM 40 to  0 and includesBahia Honda, Big Pine Key, Key West and a few Keys in between.  
Whether it's fishing, boating, diving, snorkeling, sight-seeing, partying or just plain relaxing, The Florida
Keys and Key West have it all!

The Florida Keys - An Island Paradise without leaving
the continental United States!
The waters surrounding the Florida Keys have been designated as a national marine sanctuary since
1990 to help protect the abundant marine life that is prolific in the Florida Keys.  This sanctuary area
extends 200 miles from the southern tip of Key Biscayne south of Miami to beyond the Dry Tortugas
Islands.

The Florida Keys is home to the longest living coral barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere offering
countless dive sites for scuba divers.  There are also more than 500 wrecks for scuba divers to explore
along with the designated dive sites of the Florida Keys that have mooring buoys.
As a matter of fact, we proudly call Key
Largo the "Dive Capital of the World"
and Islamorada the
"Sportfishing Capital of the  World"!
