Florida Keys holidays are an excellent choice for those who fancy a bit of island hopping in the beautiful caribbean waters. The Florida Keys is the collective name for the row of tiny islands that make up the southern most tip of the USA. You might be familiar with the names Key Largo, or Key West from the movies, but there are over 100 other islands making up the Keys, all joined together by 126 miles of road and 42 huge bridges. Key West holidays allow you to visit is the southern most city in the main bit of the USA and a historic old town. There's a combination of interesting architecture, wonderful restaurants, and bars to explore. Then there are those Florida sunsets, exciting air boat rides, the snorkelling and diving to occupy you. If thatall sounds too hectic, you can just wander the palm-lined streets lined with mansions, tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House, and Ernest Hemingway's home.

You’ll be walking in the footsteps of Thomas Edison, Harry Truman, and Tennessee Williams. The treasure of the galleon Atocha, which was dragged to the bottom of the sea over 400 years ago, and has now been dragged up again, only to appear on eBay. eBay a fitting end for such treasure?! The Marquis de Caldereita would be turning in his grave.

Everglades Alligator Farm - Attractions in Florida Keys

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.
