About the Florida Keys

When Jimmy Buffett sings about "Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude" in the Florida Keys, he
has things absolutely right. The Florida Keys are casual, relaxed, and dedicated to preserving their
laid-back nature.  Leave your neckties and high heels at home. Business as usual in the Keys
means "No jacket required".  The Florida Keys stretch some 200 sun-drenched miles from
Biscayne Bay to the Dry Tortugas, encompassing innumerable islands, reefs, lakes, bays, and
beaches.  The largest of the Florida Keys is the first Key - Key Largo. The most famous of the
Florida Keys is Key West - the last Key in the string of islands.  The Florida Keys are linked by 42
bridges scattered along the 126-mile Overseas Highway. Businesses and residents refer to
where you are in the Florida Keys by the Mile Marker - the green and white markers along the
highway.  The Florida Keys environment ranges from the fragility of America's only living coral reefs
to the seemingly impenetrable mangrove fortresses of the back country. Crystal-clear aqua-marine
waters beckon you to explore their living tapestry of undersea life.  In the Florida Keys, life focuses
on the water.

We 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 (the "Village of Islands") 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
includes Bahia Honda, Big Pine Key, Key West and a few Keys in between like Little Torch Key,
Ramrod Key, Cudjoe Key and Summerland Key.  Each area of the Florida Keys is unique to itself.

Here is a list of all the keys in each area.
