Leaving DEC.20.....your FAVORITES between Key West and Key Largo
 

We are driving to Key Largo tomorrow and would love to hear your "MUSTS" for acomomodations, dining and attractions.

Take a snorkeling trip at Pennekamp (Key Largo) or Looe Key (off of Big Pine and Ramrod Keys).
Stay in a B&B in Old Town Key West. Eat at El Siboney.
Best beach by far: Bahia Honda.

Kinda hard to make recommendations unless you tell us about your likes/dislikes, budget, kids, etc.

What is that shack on Card Sound Road? Mangrove Mamas on Sugarloaf, Zane Grays in the Wide World Sportsman in Islamorada, feeding the tarpon at Robbies in Islamorada, John Pennencamp State Park Key Largo, Bahia Honda.

Mangrove Mama's is at mile marker 20 or so and is great food is an eclectic atmosphere, to say the least!

We are a mid 50's couple.......no children......we are leaving Key West.......we do not snorkel.....we like nice places, fun places, funky places........of course we like deals, but as long as it ISN'T too $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ we would be interested. THANKS

I love Key Bargo, you can barter for anything, and I MEAN anything!!!

Alabama Jacks! That's it! Stop by Alabama Jacks on Card Sound Road before you enter the keys.

BTW, Card Sound Road is a much more pleasant ride with a better view than US1 for entering the keys.

great restaurant in Key Largo: Ballyhoos....THE place to buy stuff: Shell World!!!!

About MM 93, on the right, is the Wild Bird Sanctuary. Nice interlude.

About MM 86, on the right, is the Rain Barrel artisan's co-op. Some great crafts, and a dandy little garden where you can have some refreshment and a moment of relaxation.

At Duck Key, which is the home of Hawk's Cay, it's worth taking a look. If you can catch the colphin feeding-time, it's a nice show. About MM 65.

At the far end of Marathon, about MM 48, is the beginning of the 7-Mile Bridge. Just before going onto the bridge, on the left, is the RR car that is the tour center for Pigeon Key. Stop by and check it out. You can go out by either walking, or getting a ticket and riding out by a little jitney train. Again, worth a look.

In Marathon now..still looking for suggestions.....re where to stay and restaurants......thanks

I also like Sundowners seafood restaurant in Key Largo (mile marker 104). It's not exactly cheap, but it has a great view. You could also have a drink at the outside bar. They have a website: http://sundownerskeylargo.com.

Islamorada for real key lime pie at Manny & Isa's

snorkeling at Bahia Honda!

with air and water temps in the 60's its a little cool for snorkelling. The weather should be considerably warmer by Christmas so hopefully Sunniest will have a great time. LMF
