The Florida Keys are a great place to go on holiday. Key West is closer to Cuba than to the major US cities, and there is certainly a more relaxed and amiable attitude than you might find within the US. The Keys attract a wide range of sports enthusiasts, whether you wish to snorkel or go boating. One of the most popular attractions in recent years has been to swim with the dolphins, one of those lifetime experiences which should not be missed. Water sports enthusiasts are regulars to the keys, and for obvious reasons, though anyone seeking adventure, or even a cosy holiday with a caribbean flavour, should also consider the Keys as a great holiday destination.

As the Keys are an archipelago, which means a string of islands, constructed from exposed points of the ancient coral reef which is still a tourist attraction. A number of the larger islands have been connected to the ‘overseas highway’, which touches all of the inhabited islands of the Keys, which means that with a car you can visit a number of the Keys, and still have your main base on one island. Key Largo, for instance, is the ‘Dive capital’ of the islands, and is a mecca for all expert divers.
