'Have You Experience the Florida Keys Tropical Charm?
The Florida Keys have the quality of being widely admired,
accepted, and favored as a travel destination for the long or the short
term, because of its distinguished and special attributes.
But what makes these coral islands to have such an
acceptance and popularity? Simply because this is where the sun shines every day of the
year?..Or for other countless number of reasons?
|
|
Both, I would say!.. Being here just now gives me an insight
on the matter here discussed, and I would share it with you from now on. The Florida Keys are in a geographic area adjacent to the
tropics, with a warm, and all year round subtropical weather. So while the snow is falling over the roof tops of the northern states, the sun is warming the waters of the Straits of Florida.
And is a fact that it's a perfect and not so far away
vacation destination in North America… Getting here is easy! Easy!.. Accessible
by air, land or sea!
|
These islands were blessed with spectacular weather and a
relaxing and festive atmosphere that kept us coming back so many times... over
the years.
It's great to breathe the clean air, feel the sun and warm
breeze plus to experience the attraction of this extraordinary region of the
world!
The weather here is just..Outstanding!
During the year, including the winter months, we have sunshine, and only when it rains the clouds would cover the sun..But only for some time.. and at the end, we always end, under the ..SUN!
|
Yes!.. To define climate in the areas of the Florida Keys and the state of Florida is just..very simple! We are in the subtropics and the days are warm, with plenty of sun, blue sky..and this is the best of all but not the only reason! Being positioned at this latitude, we have the best variety of fish, fauna and vegetation you can think of. Palms, mangroves, tropical plants and coconut trees are a big part of the landscape. The sea birds are every where against the clear blue, turquoise ocean's sky.
Nature has been
for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration,
adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion. Lorraine Anderson.

But what exactly are the Florida Keys?
These group of islands located in the south east of the U.S, have a mix of the Caribbean and American culture.
The Keys (as we locals prefer to say) are a coral archipelago that
begins 15 miles south of the city of Miami.
Over the years the coral turned into limestone rock that formed the base for this part of the Florida State. These islands formations extends for over 100 square miles to the southwest,
all the way to Key West, the most populated of the islands, the southernmost area of the continental U.S and a major tourists attraction.
Years ago these were a bunch of isolated islands inhabited by a few
adventurous people looking for the sunken treasures of wrecked ships
along the coral reefs, but now after years of transformation this region
is a famous traveler destination.
Being
here had been rated as one of a kind experience by many whom after
discovering this charming territory...had fallen in love with it.
It's a great travel destination for vacations, adventures, romantic escapades, fishing competitions, wild life viewing and studying of the habitat of tropical plants and fauna, or just for plain and simple recreation.
Would you like to know what is here?
Almost everything has a lot to do with the ocean. Here is where the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico are joined together by the Straits of Florida. If you like fish or fishing then you are at the right place! According to the International Fishing Association more salt water sport fishing records had been established here than in any other part of the world.

The food is excellent; fish and sea food are the main dishes of the restaurant menus, prepared by the local chefs...a la carte.

food recipes for fried calamari, oysters,mahi mahi, red snapper, ahi tuna, and lemon
shrimp! Eating
and drinking with family and friends at these restaurants is a bliss! We love the wine and the food festivals plus other similar events!

Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell 'em I ain't coming' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me There's no place I can be Since I found serenity But you can't take the sky from me.

In the quiet and isolated areas of these breeze tropical islands you'll find peace.
These are pathways to nature, as well as playgrounds of entertainment.
Getting into this peaceful backyard loosens our spirit!
This region of South Florida receives
hundreds of thousands of tourists every year!And most
of these visitors participate very actively on the activities,
festivals and the life style of the Keys, and some are here just for
the pleasure of sightseeing and staying at the hotels and resorts.
So the good question is...Why do we love the Florida Keys?
The reasons are many...
- the experiences that we had over these year’s had been positive and rewarding.
- we thank the friendly locals, for making us feel at home any time that we set foot here.
- the incomparable and unique beautiful scenes at sunrises and sunset’s.
- the many activities that take place here...we love the rush of the experience!
- the tranquility and serenity of a natural environment...leave the big city behind!
- the festivities, the art, the intellectual nutriment and the life style.
- and perhaps is the feeling of adventure that we experience while exploring this part of the tropics.
I have been exploring this wonderful attraction for years
now, and the truth is that after being in this journey for so long
this territory is like my own back yard.
