Everglades

Visiting Florida Keys and Key West

To the south, Key West has a Mardi Gras mood with Fantasy Festivals, Hemingway look-alike contests and the occasional threat to secede from the Union. It’s an island whose melting-pot character allows crusty natives to mingle (more or less peacefully) with eccentrics and escape artists who lovingly call this 4-mi sandbar “Paradise.” Although life elsewhere in the island chain isn’t quite as offbeat, it’s nearly as diverse.

Sunny Fort Lauderdale Florida

The Greater Fort Lauderdale area is a vibrant, year-round vacation destination offering more with 23 miles of Blue Wave Beaches, 300+ miles of inland waterways that run from the Intracoastal to the Everglades, 4,000 restaurants, top shopping, attractions, and a thriving arts and culture scene. One of America’s greatest and most unusual treasures is the unique natural landscape of South Florida with its remarkably diverse flora and fauna and rare ecosystems.
