Key West and Florida Keys Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

The Florida Keys, a 120-mile-long chain of islands that demarks the most southerly part of the continental U.S., lures boaters, divers, and snorkelers with its turquoise waters, bountiful coral reefs, and sportfishing. The area's plentiful wildlife is another boon for vacationing families, who'll be able to check fish, dolphins, turtles, and even deer off their lists.
