Hotels in Florida Keys, United States

The Florida Keys are a chain of tropical islands stretching southwest from Miami, famous for the only living coral barrier reef in the continental US and Ernest Hemingway's old stomping grounds in Key West. Winters are mild and dry (around 70°F/21°C), perfect for snorkeling at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo or fishing for tarpon in Islamorada, while summers are hot and humid (near 90°F/32°C) but bring cheaper hotel rates and fewer crowds at the nightly Sunset Celebration on Mallory Square. Drive the Overseas Highway and stop at different islands-Key Largo for scuba diving in the Florida Straits, Marathon for kayaking in the Gulf of Mexico, and Key West for live music on Duval Street, where you can bar-hop to the sound of Jimmy Buffett-style island rock until midnight.
