The Florida Keys and Key West are worlds away from a holiday focused around the theme parks of Central Florida as they represent an island paradise within an easy day's drive.

Names like Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key and Key West are like a 150-mile long string of pearls linked together by one of America's top 10 scenic drives, the Overseas Highway (U.S. 1).

If you are seeking the flexibility of a fly drive holiday, the allure of nature-based activities to entice all ages or island-style relaxation under the Caribbean sun, the Florida Keys represents the perfect antidote for the tedium that is every day life.
