Things To Do - Islamorada Chamber

Pete Bacheler
Things To Do
Islamorada is known as the
Sportfishing Capital of the World,
and for good reason. Our perfect
location enables the large local
charter fleet to guide anglers into
diverse habitats. Fishermen can go
after their prey in the deep waters
of the Atlantic, chase them on top
of an underwater sea mountain, or
reel them in from the reefs. For a
different experience, anglers can
board a flats boat and head into
shallow waters of the Florida Bay in
search of the legendary grand slam.
The Keys are home to the third
largest barrier coral reef system
in the world making Islamorada
a mecca for divers and snorkelers. Our many dive/snorkel shops
ferry the experienced and novice
alike to reefs and underwater
wrecks, where they’re sure to see
an assortment of colorful fish and
corals. Closer to shore, kayakers
and paddleboarders can enjoy calm
waters as they make their way
between open seagrass meadows,
mysterious mangrove tunnels, bird
rookeries and historic islands.
The adventure-minded can swim
with a dolphin or try out jet skiing,
kiteboarding, windsurfing, a water
powered jet pack
or view the islands
from a
parasail.
Those
who want
a relaxed
view of
the waters
can take
an ecotour or sunset cruise
where you might be joined by a
pod of manatee or bottlenose
dolphin. You will find plenty to
enjoy on land as well. Islamorada
is home to three state parks
where visitors can hike, learn
about local geology, visit ruins of
an old wrecking
town and check
out an isolated
historic coral
rock home.
Visit a museum
where you can
learn about
legends of the
deep, or the history of the Keys.
Other attractions include a 17-acre
marine mammal park and various
marinas where visitors can feed
tarpon, known affectionately as the
Silver King. If you want to while
away a lazy day under the sun, rent
a sailboat or simply unfold a lounge
chair at a local beach and dip your
toes in the water.

most hurricane-resistant trees, they were
planted to serve as wind protection.

display of scarlet or orange-red flowers,
often called the “fire tree.” It is a fantastic
shade tree because of its tall but elegant,
wide-spreading umbrella-like canopy.
