After a day's activities among fish or birds, tear into some lunch at the lovely Key Largo
Conch House.
Sleep in Islamorada on your first day in the Keys - if you can afford it, splurge at excel-
lent
Morada Bay
. Wake up the next morning and feed the enormous tarpon at
Robbie's
Marina
, and if you're feeling fit, hire a kayak and paddle out to
Indian Key
. When you
have finished, you'll likely be feeling a little sapped, so make sure you caffeinate yourself
at the excellent
Midway Cafe
.
By midday you'll easily have arrived at
Marathon
, geographic center of the Keys. If
you're curious about the unique ecological background of the Keys and fancy a walk in the
woods, head to the Crane Point Museum; if sea turtles happen to be your thing, a visit to
the good doctors at the sanctuary Turtle Hospital may be in order. Eat dinner over the wa-
ter at Keys Fisheries, then grab a beer at Hurricane.
Wake up and cross the Seven-Mile Bridge onto
Big Pine Key
, where tiny Key deer
prance alongside the road.
Another hour's drive south and you're in
Key West
. Truly, this island deserves its own
itinerary - just make sure you don't miss the sunset show in Mallory Sq, the six-toed cats
at Hemingway's House and a night out at the infamous Green Parrot, the mother of all
Keys bars.
