Is Key Largo a Good Place to Stay?

When visiting the Florida Keys, it is very important to choose a destination that will enable you to enjoy water sports, comfortable accommodations, exceptional dining experiences, and take in the local culture. Each island in the Florida Keys has its own unique disposition, but Key Largo is normally where most tourists plan their vacation, outside of Key West and Islamorada. 

Key Largo is a good place to stay, because it is home to an exceptional variety of resorts, hotels, campgrounds, parks, restaurants, and waterfront bars. Key Largo, which is home to the world famous John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, is considered a “sportsman’s paradise” because of its proximity to world-class sportfishing, unparalleled SCUBA Diving sites, and Florida Bay. Key Largo is a good place to stay because it provides a perfect opportunity for visiting families to enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and an nearly endless supply of nightly entertainment opportunities - including live music and dancing. 

Key Largo is also a good place to stay because it is relatively affordable compared to some of the other more exclusive islands in the Florida Keys, such as Islamorada and Duck Key.  Key Largo is only a one hour drive from Miami International Airport, which makes it ideal for weekend getaways in America’s only tropical paradise.
