Islamorada & The Keys… the Caribbean of the US
If you want crystal clear blue water, the most marine life, amazing food, & good vibes, look no further than the Caribbean of the US… aka Islamorada and the Florida Keys!
Some recs:
Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill in Key Largo at sunset- we got the Mahi burger & the Lobster Mac & Cheese
Bahia Honda State Park was just so clean, calm water and cheap to get into ($9 for 2 people)
Old Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon is where we saw sea turtles and so many different types of fish, a manatee, yachts, sailboats, plus you can learn about how they built and used the old bridge and see parts that are no longer in use
Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar for a Key Lime Margarita and a super fresh mojito
Robbie's of Islamorada was seriously the coolest place! we stapled a dollar to the wall like we did in another place down in Key West but we also fed the Tarpon. it was such a unique experience but slightly scary because of the pelicans. they had a little private beach (shown with the two drinks) and it was so quiet and peaceful to relax
Pierre's Restaurant where part of Bloodline was filmed (I haven’t seen it but this was what my husband wanted to see here) the inside of the building was a restaurant with 2 bars, gorgeous views, and a restaurant. the beach was stunning and had amazing views as well.
Key Largo Kampground & Marina this was where we stayed for 2 nights and it was incredible. our airbnb host was sooooo nice! the last picture is from the kayak dock we used both days. highly recommend!
overall 10000000/10 vacation and we will be back!
