Florida Keys is a chain of palm-lined islands stretching off the coast of mainland USA, into the Gulf of Mexico. Long known as a tropical escape, visitors keep coming back for the area’s powder-fine beaches, azure seas, and live entertainment.

Throughout the day, you can take to the water to enjoy dolphin viewing and big-game fishing, or simply go for a dip to cool off. You can learn about the local heritage of Florida Keys at top landmarks such as Audubon House and Tropical Gardens, Mallory Square, and the Ernest Hemingway House. Come evening, head to the many beach bars, live music joints, and theatres to party through the night.
