Nestled between Mile Markers 90 and 72, Islamorada stretches across six islands and feels worlds away from mainland life, despite being only a short drive from Miami. With endless summer weather, glowing sunsets, and a strong “support local” spirit, this island community is truly one of a kind.

Known as the Sport Fishing Capital of the World, Islamorada boasts the highest concentration of professional offshore and backcountry charter boats. It’s the birthplace of backcountry and saltwater fly fishing, offering anglers access to thriving reefs, the deep Atlantic, and the shallow flats of Florida Bay. From tarpon and bonefish to sailfish, the adventures are endless—and local restaurants will happily “cook your catch” for the freshest meal imaginable.

Below the surface, Islamorada’s waters hold part of the world’s third-largest coral reef system, filled with tropical fish, shipwrecks, and vibrant coral gardens. Local dive shops offer everything from guided snorkel tours to shark dives and coral restoration experiences. For paddleboarders and kayakers, mangrove tunnels and quiet seagrass meadows reveal a peaceful, untouched side of the Keys. And for snorkelers, sunset lovers, and sightseers, Captain Mike with MyKeys Tours of Islamorada is always a top recommendation.

On land, visitors enjoy state parks, nature trails, unique geological formations, and iconic stops like Robbie’s Marina. Boutique hotels, waterfront resorts, local dining, and island-inspired art galleries create Islamorada’s upscale, small-town charm—especially magical during the mild winter season.
