Key Largo
Key Largo
Florida. Even the name invokes a feeling of a tropical
paradise. Key Largo was the first of the Florida Keys resort
towns. Now Key Largo is called the dive capital of the
world. But there is much more to Key Largo than only scuba
and skin diving.
Key Largo has the world’s largest artificial reef, the
510-foot USS Spiegel Grove and is home to the John Pennekamp Coral
Reef. The waters surrounding Key Largo are a National Marine
Sanctuary, guaranteeing the best, most pristine waters available for
your pleasure at the Stephen Frink Underwater State Park.
Here you can see the world Christ of the Abyss underwater statue famous
while taking a glass bottom boat from Key Largo.
There are many opportunities to fish around Key Largo, both salt and
fresh water. For the more adventurous, Key Largo offers
kayaking, swimming with the dolphins, air boat rides and everglades
tours. On the other hand, my favorite Key Largo activity;
kicking back with a tropical beverage and doing nothing at all but
watching the beautiful sunsets. The Key Largo Chamber of
Commerce likes to say this: “Come stay in Legendary
Key Largo, where reality ends and tranquility
begins”. I cannot blame them for expressing those
sentiments.
Key Largo is the gateway and first stopping off point for a trip to the

you can dive some of the sunken wrecks that dot the undersea landscape
