There are many things to see and do in South Florida and the Keys. Below are listed
many of the attractions and activities in and around Key Largo including surrounding
areas. To travel through the Keys most easily, you need to understand the Mile Marker
system. Mile markers are little green numerical signs located along US1, the main
thoroughfare from Florida City to Key West. Locating and tracking these signs makes it
very easy to locate any of the attractions, activities, and restaurants included in the
attached links. If you want to go somewhere not referred to in these charts, check the
local yellow pages and be sure to inquire which Mile Marker they are closest to before
heading on your way.
