Welcome to The Keys Explored

Until you’ve had your first trip to the Florida Keys, it might seem like it’s a destination that you can just show up and enjoy that Keys Life. Well, it takes more planning and understanding than that. The Florida Keys are a gorgeous destination, but space and resources are limited, so visiting with a plan is important. That’s where we come in!

The Keys Explored is all about helping visitors experience the beauty and fun of the Florida Keys while not having a lasting negative impact on either the environment or the people who call it home. Problems like pollution, traffic, housing shortage and supply issues can easily have an effect on such a sparsely populated or developed place. Maine is awesome, and the towns are remarkable, but it is delicate.

What makes the Florida Keys so special?

I first fell in love with the Florida Keys as a little kid when I saw a commercial that showed people driving a convertible on the 7 Mile Bridge in the Keys. I saw turquoise water and sunshine and it looked imaginary. That’s when I first knew that I had to have the Florida Keys in my life. Fast forward to being an adult and discovering that the Keys really are as I imagined.

Whether you are into diving and snorkeling, want to really dig into Florida history, or you just want to relax in the tropics, the Keys are perfect for exploring. Islamorada has the beautiful resorts you can picture yourself lounging at. Marathon is the gateway to fishing that you’ve seen pictures of but never experienced. Key West is the coolest town with brick lined streets and chickens everywhere. It’s dreamy, and that’s why you’re going to make a plan to explore the Florida Keys.
