FACTOR WOW FLORIDA KEYS BOUND!
THE KEY TO VITAMIN SEA. BY AMY ROBERTS
THANKS TO THE TROPICAL CLIMATE, azure waters, pristine beaches, inspired culinary scene, and endless array of quirky events, The Florida Keys are a delightful destination any time of the year. Here’s how best to explore.
BY SEA
With sparkling waters and a well-marked natural channel allowing for comfortable passage, island hopping along The Keys is, well, a boatload of fun. Snorkeling, diving, fishing, dolphin spotting, water sports and more are all in a day’s play. Getting a fish-eye view of The Keys also provides a more intimate experience with the natural world. Curious marine life is known to interact with boats as they float by the only living coral barrier reef in the continental US.
BY LAND
Move over Route 66, driving along The Florida Keys is America’s new iconic road trip. Just an hour’s drive from Miami, Key Largo is the most accessible key, while driving to Key West—the southernmost point in the continental US—takes about three hours. Key West’s famous historical sites, conch-style architecture, and celebrated sunsets make the journey worthwhile.
KEYS CUISINE
Innovative and globally inspired flavors and spices offer endless moments of culinary discovery. Nearly every restaurant boasts a “catch of the day,” and it’s not uncommon for the day’s catch to arrive just moments before you order it. Often regarded as one of the best restaurants in The Keys, Nine One Five is an upscale eatery located on Key West’s famed Duval Street. Inside the Victorian home turned restaurant, diners can select from handmade pastas, locally sourced seafood, and “absurdly addictive” sharables. No matter where or what you eat, a slice of the area’s signature dessert—key lime pie—is nearly required.
ON THE CALENDAR
The annual Underwater Music Festival is a subaquatic concert that takes place the Saturday after July Fourth off the coast of Big Pine. Mermaids and mermen play instruments like the “fluke-a-lele” and “trom-bonefish” to raise money for coral reef preservation. On Key West, Hemingway Days takes place each July. The multiday festival includes a Hemingway look-a-like contest with bearded men gathering at one of writer’s favorite hangouts, Sloppy Joe’s Bar.
