Throughout this chain of coral islands that drift west off the southern tip of Florida you'll find a wide variety of things to do. Lost-in-time dive bars and weather-worn marinas are interwoven with oceanfront views from five-star resorts and elevated dining establishments.
While the string of islands has plenty to offer in terms of natural beauty and outdoor activities, there is also a vibrant cultural scene that is worth exploring.
Let's work our way down US Highway 1 starting in Key Largo.
🗝Key Largo
❇Best for diving, snorkeling, marine wildlife encounters.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christina Field
Hi, my name is Christina Field, and I am a life long traveling nomad having grown up in the Air Force and having traveled extensively as an adult on family vacations, trips with my hubby, and work-related travel. My husband and I love travel, exploring new places, and meeting new people so much we left our traditional house-based life and are living life on the road in our RV and on extended international trips.
I strongly believe in the power of travel to enrich our lives. Travel provides opportunities for renewal, discovery, and inspiration and has the potential to transform lives and create a better world.
I want everyone to have the travel experiences of their dreams, and that is why I am passionate about helping clients make their vacation dreams come true. Being location independent myself means I can help clients regardless of their location.
I also know that most folks are so busy with day to day activities, and sometimes vacation planning takes a back seat. When you consider how many options there are and how many sources of travel information there are, it can be overwhelming to sift through the information and hard to know who to trust.
That's where I come in. As a lifelong traveler and as a travel professional, I have expertise and access to exclusive insider information that I love to share with my clients.
Whether you are planning a relaxing escape, a girlfriend getaway, a man-cation, a romantic honeymoon or a family reunion, I can create a customized experience for you that will be completely hassle-free and tailored to your wants and needs.
What are your travel dreams . . . sailing on the seas, lounging at an all-inclusive resort, trekking on safari, cruising on a river . . . ? Where do you want to go . . . ?
Reach out to me today, and starting with our first conversation I will use my years of research and organizational skills to custom design the vacation experience of YOUR dreams.
I can take the work out of travel, so you can have all the FUN ! How can I help you?
