Key Largo is between the watery wilderness of the Everglades National Park to the west and the coral formations of North America’s only coral barrier reef to the east. Key Largo’s is close to the Everglades so it’s ideal if you are off kayaking, bird watching, or generally being an eco-tourist. An excellent choice if you want to spend your Florida holidays in amongst the environment.

Hemingway Home and Museum – Attractions in Key Largo – Florida

Hemingway owned this house from 1931 until he died in 1961. The house has a pool built in the late thirties and cost $20,000 which was a pricey sum in those days. It was this that prompted him to take a penny and press it into the surrounding patio and pronounce, ‘Here, take the last penny I've got!’ The penny is still there.

Ernest Hemingway was once given a six-toed cat by a ship's captain, and it is said that about sixty of this cats' descendants still live in the museum. It’s well worth going to see the cats alone – they’re all named after celebrities. It’s not everywhere you can read: ‘Ava Gardner is our most unusual cat since she was born without a tail. She moves with a hopping gait resembling a rabbit.’ (is that the cat or Ava Gardner?) Mental note: Remember to see the six ships captain’s toes, pressed into the Ernest Hemmingway.

Everglades Alligator Farm - Key Largo Attractions

A real working alligator farm. Why you would want to farm alligators, we don’t know. Unless you’re a James Bond villain of course, and need an alligator farm to deter busy bodies from nosing round your evil lair. We’re not saying this is anything other than an alligator farm, just keep a look out for lots of armed men running about in boiler suits, and nuclear weapons.

And maybe also make sure you have a portable autogyro (called ‘Little Nellie’) armed with a couple of synchronised forward firing machine guns with you. Best buy one of those locally; it wouldn’t go down well at all if you tried to get it on your flight as hand luggage.

It’s an easy drive from Miami International Airport, which is about a nine and a half hour flight from the UK.
