Things to Do in Key Largo, FL
Whether you're longing for a relaxing getaway or hoping for an exotic escape, Key Largo is the perfect choice for your next vacation! With the Everglades National Park to the north and Islamorada and the lower Florida Keys to the south, this popular destination is ideal for outdoor adventures, island hopping, or simply soaking up the sun on the beach.
Surrounded by the vibrant turquoise ocean, the sea offers entertainment options for both tourists and locals. Did you know that the Florida Reef is the third largest coral barrier reef in the world? Key Largo offers access to the some of the densest parts of the reef so scuba-diving or snorkeling are a popular activity on this island! Consider booking a charter fishing expedition for trophy yellowtail snapper or a sunset cruise on the calm Blackwater sound.
Kids (and those young at heart) will love building sandcastles and playing in the sun on one of the island’s sun-drenched beaches, such as Far Beach in John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park. After splashing in the surf, enjoy some burgers or hot dogs at a family picnic on Tavernier Beach.
From eclectic boutique shopping to the annual Humphrey Bogart Film Festival (held next to the clear blue waters Bogie navigated in the classic movie for which this island was named), there are plenty of entertainment options to choose from during your stay in one of our Key Largo vacation rentals! Although this is a family-friendly destination, the adults of the group can enjoy a happy hour pina colada at any of the island’s conch-style bars.

For those seeking quality time in the outdoors, the island gives up-close access to wildlife - both on land and in the water! Everglades National Park is only 37 miles away and offers daily tours. With over one million acres, this sprawling national treasure is home to a number of animal species that include alligators, crocodiles, cranes, birds, snakes, and much more.
Key Largo boasts the title of “Dive Capital of the World” thanks to the expansive coral reef submerged just off its shores.
