About Me

From Key Largo to Key West, there is so much to see and do throughout The Florida Keys. From small boutique hotels on the beach, to upscale five-star resorts, and from laid-back lounging to full-on adventures, there is truly something for every kind of traveler. No matter your travel style, enjoy our list of the ten most beautiful sites to see in the Keys.  

#1: Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Take a charter out to the reef, and dive under the surface at John Pennekamp State Park. Explore the colorful reefs and the abundant sea life while snorkeling, or check out some incredible sunken treasures while scuba diving.  

#2: Old Seven Mile Bridge. Recently converted to a pedestrian path, seize the opportunity to snap a few pics of the incredible water and amazing sunsets from this vantage point. For even better views, take to the water to view both the old and new bridges from below.  

#3: Alligator Reef. Surrounded by crystal clear blue water, this lighthouse marks the reef to protect it from passing boats. The contrast of the black and white structure against the blue sea is too beautiful to miss! Whether you choose to snorkel, swim or look on from the boat, you will be mesmerized by this incredible site!  

#4: Bahia Honda State Park. Voted the best beach in The Keys, and one of the top beaches in the US, a visit to Bahia Honda should be on everyone’s list! Beauty abounds both on land and sea. Spend the day hiking nature trails, paddling about just offshore, or even renting jet skis for a fresh perspective.  

#5: Boca Chica Sandbar. Pure paradise. Depending on the tide, water depths range from about 6 inches to a few feet, making this a perfect destination for pure relaxation. Charter a boat and spend the day in the shallows.  

#6: Smather’s Beach. So many photo ops can be found here - located along the Eastern end of Key West Island, this stretch of sand is lined with tall palms and flowing grasses. For the best light, check it out at sunrise!  

#7: Southernmost Point Buoy. This giant, 20-ton structure marks the southernmost point of the continental US, and is only a mere 90 miles from Cuba. Its stark contrast against the cool aqua waters beyond makes this landmark a must-see.  

#8: Fort Zachary Taylor. Affectionately called “Fort Zach” by the locals, this state park is in Key West. Yes, you can tour the historic fort, but the real draw is the beach. Make your way to the far end of the park and through the trees - once you step into the warm water and sink your toes in the sand, you’ll understand why we recommend a visit!  

#9: Sunset Pier. Also known as the “Selfiemost Point,” this place is both hard to find and hard to leave. Arguably the best views in all The Keys, Sunset Pier also serves up great food and drinks while its patrons enjoy some live island music. Come for the views, but stay for the atmosphere.  

#10: Dry Tortugas National Park. It takes commitment to visit the Dry Tortugas, as it requires an entire day to get there and back. Once there, you’ll understand why it’s on our must-see list! You will fall in love with the striking contrast of the brick fortress against the vastness of the sea. Sunbathe, swim, snorkel and explore this remarkable site!  The Florida Keys is truly a one-of-a-kind, gorgeous destination.

We're ready to help create a personalized itinerary just for you filled with these great places to visit. The Keys are waiting for you!

We booked through Stay Salty Travel Company. This was our first cruise and we sailed out of Mobile, Ala on the carnival cruise ship Ecstasy June 25-30. They were great to work with and available at every turn to answer our questions as well as assist us with any situation. We would definitely recommend them for any travel plans you may be planning. ????

Reviewed By Jessica N. - Tompkinsville, KY | Traveled to St. Lucia Island ~ St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Ellen is great to work with. She's our go to for all things caribbean. We went to an amazing resort in St. Lucia. She helped us with every step. Passport, choosing the best resort, booking the best room category, making reservations and even booking our excursions before we left home so we had all the plans ready. We had the best time. The helicopter ride she suggested took our breath away. What an experience.
