Spending a vacation in south Florida would be incomplete without a trip to the Florida Keys. Head down US highway 1, after passing Florida City you cross a bridge into Key Largo, the first and largest in the long chain of Florida keys. After the harried, congested pace of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area, the keys are a welcome change. Life runs at a slower pace here, and Key Largo is a favorite of scuba divers.
The offshore John Pennekamp state park has a vast shallow water area to explore. Greyhound bus lines runs through here on it's daily Miami-Key West runs. Dive shops and boat rentals are plentiful, and there is a small airport catering to private aircraft. The overbuilding that happened farther north did not happen here in Key Largo.
