Islamorada

Sportfishing capital of the Keys, with charter-boat fleets, tackle shops, and a history museum in a restored bank.

Islamorada is a fixture of the Leonida Keys, the island chain that stretches south from the mainland into the reef. Sportfishing capital of the Keys, with charter-boat fleets, tackle shops, and a history museum in a restored bank. Expect slow two-lane traffic, pastel-painted conch houses, and the steady background sound of outboard motors and wind.
