Key Largo : Dive, Fish and Explore

Road Trip!Out of town trip to Key Largo, Florida. It was a great weather that day and an amazing blue sky was upon us.

Key Largo is a popular tourist destination called "the first of the Florida Keys" because of its northernmost location along the Florida Keys chain. It is the "Dive Capital of the World" because the living coral reef a few miles offshore attracts thousands of scuba divers and sport-fishing enthusiasts, and boasts some of the most fascinating botanical scenery in the state. It is home to the original African Queen boat also known as S/L Livingstone is the boat used in the movie The African Queen in which starred Humprey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.

Key Largo is sandwiched between the watery wilderness of the Everglades National Park to the west and the fish-covered coral formations of North America's only living coral barrier reef to the east. Its close proximity to the Everglades makes it a premier destination for kayakers, birders and other eco-tourists.The island is also famous as a sport-fishing destination. Some of the best charter captains and fishing guides in the world work out of Key Largo. You can go after sailfish offshore, bonefish along the Atlantic shallows, or redfish and tarpon in Florida Bay.

Six miles offshore in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary you will find the wreck of the Spiegel Grove, a 510-foot former US Navy ship intentionally scuttled in 2002 as the backbone for a new coral reef.

Lush flora and lively fauna abound in the Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and Everglades National Park. Underwater, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary teems with life while the American Crocodile thrives at Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
