Exploring the Florida Keys From Islamadora to Key West

Ever since I was younger, I always wanted to go to the Florida Keys. I’d been to Florida on vacation, but they always seemed inaccessible since they were so far South and I imagined them as exclusive and expensive. Well, they aren’t more expensive than other areas of Florida I’ve been and it was actually really relaxed there; not fancy like I pictured it.

The Keys are pretty spread out and you would have to choose which area you’d like. The road the “Overseas Highway” runs all the way down so you’re not going to get lost! They say Siesta Key is the prettiest beach, Key Largo is closest to Miami if you just have a little bit of time, and of course Key West is the furthest South and the most famous.

We stayed a Kona Kai the first night in Islamadora as we worked our way down South. Just across from Kona Kai was a yummy restaurant called Ballyhoo’s which I highly recommend if you stop here.

Did you spot the iguana above? He’s hiding!
