So you’re thinking of going on vacation to the Florida Keys. Should you stay in the far north of The Keys and try Key Largo or should you go to the far south of the US and visit Key West? Maybe you should stop right in the middle and try Islamorada.
Islamorada is actually six islands. It consists of Windley Key, Plantation Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, and some offshore islands better known as Lignumvitae Key and Indian Key. Anywhere in Islamorada is great and finding hotels in Islamorado couldn’t be easier. If you are staying in Islamorada then you must stay at one of Islamorada’s many excellent resorts and hotels or if camping is more your style there are plenty of places to camp.
For all your campers and those of you who have an RV and don’t need hotels in Islamorada. You can try Long Key State Park. You’ll want to reserve your spot early as this campground is always packed. I have spent many summers at this same camp and they were some of the best times of my life. You can catch fresh fish, snorkel and see some amazing fish and during lobster season you can catch your own lobster. There’s nothing like diving for a few hours and fishing for lobster. Then drop a line and catch some grouper or snapper and then come back and enjoy a feast like no other.
For quiet Islamorada hotels with a romantic atmosphere, check out the Sands of Islamorada. They offer an intimate and charming view facing the sea where you can fish, dive and snorkel. Or maybe you like Harbor Lights Motel. It is a quiet and relaxing hideaway nestled on the blue oceans of the Atlantic and is within easy reach of many local attractions.
