America's only Caribbean island....

The Florida Keys can be a little more than a night at the hotel and a stroll down Duval Street.
This is a city that three times has threatened to secede from the Union and establish its own republic.It's a city whose former mayor water-skied all the way to Cuba to emphasize the importantce of the U.S.
Navy's presence.

The colorful history and Victorian architecture will provide unlimited sights to see.

Only ninety miles from Cuba, explore the Southermost
point in the United States.
Situated in the Caribbean Sea, the waters of the Florida Keys are tranquil, perfect for boating, wave running, snorkeling, or scuba diving.

The Island of the Keys include Key Largo-Islamorada, Marathon, the Lower Keys and Key West.

OVERSEAS HIGHWAY

To reconnect us with the mainland, the Overseas Highway was constructed directly on the old railroad bed. It opened 1938. if you drive to Key West from Orlando City, many of the bridges you see next to U.S. 1 are the original railroad trestles.

Key West after dark....

Best of all there are the unforgettable sunsets. Few places in the world offer the brilliance, the majesty, and the serenity of the Florida Keys when the sun slips below the horizon.
