Divers flock to Key Largo to explore its beautiful sea life and coral reefs. If diving and snorkeling does not suit your fancy, consider other water adventures, such as parasailing, kayaking or jet skiing. You can catch a ride on a casino boat for fun on the water and a chance to hit a jackpot. If you love to fish, Key Largo is the place for you. Dozens of charter fishing companies operate in the area, which offer sailfish, dolphin and marlin fishing on the Atlantic Ocean and bonefish and tarpon fishing on the Florida Bay.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park offers something for everyone. The park features three swimming areas, picnic areas and snorkeling tours. Snorkelers can explore the remains of a Spanish ship and campers can reserve a space for RV or tent camping.
To enjoy fresh seafood, visitors and residents head to Bayside Grille. For lunch, you can enjoy Angus beef dishes, key lime pie and seafood at Mrs. Mac's Kitchen. For a romantic setting, head to Mandalay Oceanfront Grill and Tiki for oceanfront dining and live music.
The Glass Bottom Bar at the Pilot House offers more than live music and drinks; you can also observe the sea life swimming under the bar's glass floor. D-Hooker Sports Bar and Grill hosts happy hour five nights per week and serves domestic and imported wines and beers.
