The Florida Keys, a ribbon of enchanting islands that stretch from Miami's southeastern coast to the westernmost inhabited island of Key West, is a dreamlike locale bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Bearing the southernmost mantle of the continental United States, the Keys are closer to Cuba (just 93 miles from Key West) than Miami. Initially charted by Juan Ponce de León in 1513 and first inhabited by the Calusa and Tequesta tribes, the Keys have emerged as an exceptional holiday destination over centuries.

With their land area of 137.3 square miles, mostly covered by Monroe County, this archipelago of coral cays echoes an intriguing past. Key West, once a prosperous hothouse thriving on wrecking revenues, became the hub of Florida post the completion of the Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railway in the early 1910s. An index to the Keys' resilience is the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, a phenomenal recovery symbol following the devastation of the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane.

Home to native species such as the American crocodile and the Key deer, the Florida Keys showcase a distinctive environment more resemblant of the Caribbean than the mainland Florida. But, it's the transcendent beauty of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary that truly makes being here a surreal experience.

When to visit Florida Keys

The best time to plan your visit to the Florida Keys is from November to February, when the weather is at its most pleasant and the festivity fervor fills the air. For those who wish to savor the mesmerizing confluence of tropical and winter charm, the months of March through May are an ideal choice.

While high humidity and hurricane threats are prevalent in summers, this period also offers tremendous travel deals for the savvy traveller. The quieter autumn months of September and October bring cool temperatures and fewer crowds, offering an appealing retreat. Shimmering with holiday celebrations and events, a December visit transforms the Florida Keys into a Yuletide Haven. Stay informed, stay safe, and consult local authorities for accurate tropical storm and hurricane information.
