Are you in the mood to fish, dine or boat? You found the right place! Their logo says it all; “Come as you are”. The Florida Keys provides some of the best fishing in the world.
The Florida Keys are a chain-like cluster of about 1700 islands in the southeast United States. They begin at the southeastern tip of the
Floridapeninsula, about 15 miles (24 km) south of
Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to
Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited
Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the
Florida Straits, dividing the
Atlantic Oceanto the east from the
Gulf of Mexicoto the west, and defining one edge of
Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern tip of Key West is just 94 miles (151 km) from
Cuba. The Florida Keys are between about 23.5 and 25.5 degrees North latitude, in the
subtropics. The climate of the Keys however, is defined as
tropicalaccording to
Köppen climate classification. More than 95 percent of the land area lies in
Monroe County, but a small portion extends northeast into
Miami-Dade County, primarily in the city of
Islandia,
Florida. The total land area is 137.3 square miles (356 km
