Bahia Honda State Park, is well worth stopping off at on the long drive.
Nice beach area and a relaxing break for an hour or so is well worth it, think it is $4 to park your car there.

The best bit we found about the Keys is the drive there, which is long - about 3 hours or so from Miami - but really good for a glimpse of the real Florida.

Watching the sunset in the evening at Mallory Square is also a nice thing to do.
MS is the centre of all that goes on at Key West itself.

Hiya

I would second the Mallory Square experience, the hour before sunset is fab. They have loads of street entertainers, and a great place to get a frozen cocktail. Also try Sloppy Joe's (Ernest Hemmingways old hangout) for a sloppy joe sandwich (mmmm) go and have your photo taken atthe southern most point of America, it is a photo worth taking,also there is a tribute to all the Cubans who have lost their lives trying to reach the USA. There is a Butterfly house, which is pretty, also you can go to Hemmingways house. to see the six toed cats. That is all at Key West To see all this you can buy an all day hop on hop off trolley bus ticket. At key largo there is the John Pennecamp National park which is a national park for the ocean protecting the coral reef, theyhave glass bottom boats, snorkling and scuba diving trips, there is also the theatre of the sea, which has dolphin shows etc. if you have seen the film, The African Queen, the barge is based at Key Largo Also as has already been mentioned the drive over to the Keys is fab. the seven mile bridge leave you gob smacked, also on your way down you can stop off at the Everglades and have ago on the airboats. As you can tell i loved the Keys it was most definatley worth the drive. Any other info needed just message me.
Hope this helps.

I would recommend swimming with dolphins at the Dolphin Research Centre on Marathon Key!
Also, try the trolley bus ride in Key West, you can get on and off at all the key tourist spots, ie. Sloppy Joes, Mallory Square etc..
Be prepared to go back in time... the Keys are stuck in the 70's.. but well worth going!! Enjoy.
