Things To Do
Robbie's
Robbie's is a famous for being able to hand feed HUGE 100-200lb tarpon, but they also offer great fishing charters. I would recomend the Capt. Michael party boat for a low cost bottom fishing trip. Blue Heaven is an awsome offshore charter boat if your looking to hook some fresh Mahi, Wahoo etc. I would definitelty check Robbie's out if you are looking for some gifts, lunch, and fun for the kids. This is the best place in the keys for unique souvenirs (Shannon's favorite place to shop!).
Fantastic II Sport Fishing Charters
Fantasic II is a great charter out of Key Largo mainly for catching grouper and yellow tail snapper. Grouper season opens May 1st, so grouper fishing should be good.
Captain Easy
This guy knows where the grouper are at. If you want to drive a little further south, it will be worth it.
Second Nature Charters
Here is a good fishing boat if you find yourself in Key West.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park
If you want to go snorkeling or scuba diving go to John Pennekamp. I would recomend the park snorkel tours. They also offer Scuba Diving. Sea Dwellers is another dive shop to check out they run a good operation. Also ask if you will be diving Molasses reef (it is the best reef in the Keys).
Theater of the Sea
Theater of the Sea is the Sea World of the keys. Great place for the kids to have fun, also enjoyable for adults.
Dolphin Research Center
This a rescue facility for dolphins and other animals, and also the original home of Flipper. It is a very unique, down to earth place to get up close and personal with dolphins.
Turtle Hospital
If you love sea turtles, this is your place.
No Name Pub
Key deer are the smallest subspecies of white tail in the U.S. and they are only found on bigpine key. If you want to see key deer go grab some food here in the evening or the morning, you will see them on the way. You can also just turn down Key Deer Boulevard and you should see them in the morning or evening.
Key Largo Conch House
Great place to eat any time of day. The atmoshere is very relaxing, and the key lime pie is awesome!
Key Largo Fisheries
Great local fresh seafood, LUNCH ONLY.
Lazy Days Restaurant
On the water, awesome food, and they will cook you catch if you go fishing. Its our go to after a day of fishing.
Pilot House Restaurant & Marina
Cool place to eat over the water with a glass bottom floor to watch the fish while you eat some fish.
Snappers Oceanfront Restaurant & Bar
Another great place to grab some delicious food on the water. I think they cook your catch, also.
Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar
Great place to put your feet in the sand and eat some delicious food. Shannon and Ian's favorite place to grab some cocktails, local beer, and fresh fish.
