The long stretch of islands south of Florida called the Florida Keys is home to multiple offshoots of land filled with culture, adventure and tourism. Head to the most northern part of the keys to reach Key Largo, offering attractions such as the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first underseas park in the United States, and the opportunity to commune with local dolphins. Key Largo also offers eco-tourism, scuba diving and Spiegel Grove, an explorable shipwreck sunk to create an artificial reef. When planning your trip to Key Largo, select a hotel right in the middle of all of the attractions, offering comfortable accommodations within minutes of Key Largo's hot spots.
