Local Attractions

Pictured left is a hungry tarpon being hand fed at the famous Robbie's of Islamorada. This is one of many great attractions you will find here in the upper Florida Keys.

While fishing is a huge part of this area's history, snorkeling and diving is also a really big draw. There are countless reefs and wrecks to explore all throughout the Keys with many of them being in the upper Keys. We're not really divers but here is a site we found offered by Key Dives out of Bud n' Mary's at MM 78.2 ocean side.

There are very few actual beaches in the Keys and that's what makes Founders Park in Islamorada such a find. Located less than 1 mile from the house, this park offers many amenities including a private white sand beach on the bay, a marina, an Olympic size pool and much more (certain fees may apply). There are also many great events held here such as concerts, a boat show, festivals, etc.

Spending so much time in the Keys over the last fifteen or so years, we have visited many of the local attractions and also sampled a lot of the local food. There is a lot to see and do no matter what your interests.

We've taken the time to list some of our favorite restaurants and attractions. With most of these spots, we've had very good experiences over the years.
