ummu, just so you know. It is a 7-8 hour drive from Orlando to Key West each way (longer if traffic is bad which it often is). What kind of water activities are you interested in? fishing, snorkeling, diving, boating, skiing, etc.?

Have you looked at a map? You could go along (eventually) either Florida coast to get there but if you traveled down the west coast eventually you would have to cross the state to the east in order to access the only driving route to Key West which begins south of Miami.

I suggest you look at a map and then perhaps ask about more specific locations located along the route.

Otherwise, I think your question is entirely too vague.

I will just comment on Islands of Adventure--my favorite park ever-- and suggest you give yourself as much time there as possible.
