The tropical islands that extend for over 120 miles off the coast of the Florida mainland are known as the Florida Keys, and they are a hotspot for vacation activities. The Florida Keys are well known for many reasons, including as the home of Ernest Hemingway, inspiration to musician Jimmy Buffett, and for a long and storied history. Visitors to the Florida Keys will find ample opportunity for snorkeling and scuba diving in the warm waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, and families staying in the Keys can take a ride on a glass bottomed boat to see John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, swim with dolphins, fish, swim, and more.
