Державний парк Байя Хонда

Bahia Honda State Park по праву вважається найкращим пляжем Флорида-Кіс і входить в десятку кращих пляжів США. У гарний теплий день це абсолютно рекомендована зупинка, щоб прохолодно поплавати або навіть просто набрати піску та води між пальцями ніг.

3

Пляж Анни

Один із найкрасивіших пляжів Кі на Лоуер-Матекумбе-Кі. Тут є 300 футів нещодавно заміненої набережної, яка забезпечує доступ до різних ділянок пляжу, де вода майже завжди тепла, прозора та спокійна. Навіть варта зупинка для фото, якщо вам не хочеться плавати.

4

Будинок і музей Ернеста Хемінгуея

Будинок-музей Ернеста Хемінгуея розташований у центрі Старого міста Кі-Вест. Культовий американський письменник 10 років називав Кі-Вест своїм домом. Завітайте до будинку та садів, щоб дізнатися більше про його книги, 4 дружин і дітей, а також побачити 40 багатопалих котів, які є нащадками його знаменитої білої шестипалої кішки Білосніжки.

5

Національний ключовий притулок оленів

Крихітні олені Кі, що знаходяться під загрозою зникнення, зараз зустрічаються виключно у Флорида-Кіс. Вони гарні плавці, що, можливо, дозволяє їм пережити такі урагани, як Ірма. Сьогодні зіткнення транспортних засобів є загрозою номер один, тому ви побачите зони повільного руху, щоб допомогти їм захистити, особливо навколо Біг-Пайн-Кі.

6

Вулиця Дюваль

Найвідоміша вулиця Кі-Веста, саме тут ви знайдете найбільшу колекцію барів, магазинів і ресторанів.

7

Кі Вест

Ви можете бути здивовані, дізнавшись, що жваве місто Кі-Вест колись було найбільшим містом у всій Флориді. Перебуваючи лише в 90 милях від Куби та на основних судноплавних маршрутах з Південної Америки, Кі-Вест є унікальним поєднанням американської, кубинської та латиноамериканської культур. Архітектура дуже стильна. Вулиці жваві, і на цьому компактному острові є чимало рекомендованих місць для відвідування.

8

Державний парк «Кораловий риф» Джона Пеннекампа

Чому парки повинні просто зберігати те, що є на землі? Державний парк «Кораловий риф» Джона Пеннекампа був першим у США, який був визначений як підводний парк. Він охоплює близько 70 морських квадратних миль з рельєфом від мангрових боліт до мілководних коралів і глибоководних рифів, що ідеально підходить для підводного плавання. Відвідувачі парку можуть підводно плавати з безліччю риб, досліджуючи статую Христа Глибини та навіть залишки старого іспанського корабля.

9

Ключ голуба

Маленький Pigeon Key площею 5 акрів відіграв ключову роль для залізничників, які будували завершальні етапи проекту залізниці Східного узбережжя Флориди, яка з’єднає пасажирів із Нью-Йорка в Кі-Вест і навіть продовжить човном до Гавани, не покидаючи міста. карета. Прямо через острів проходив Старий семимильний міст, який служив робочим будинком і табором. Після постраждалих від урагану «Ірма» продовжується реконструкція мосту для тих, хто сподівається знову дійти пішки до Піджен-Кі. Доступ наразі здійснюється на короткій поїздці на поромі, що починається від центру відвідувачів у Марафоні, і є додатковим бонусом.

10

Семимильний міст

Семимильний міст - найдовший з мостів на Заморському шосе. Ви справді відчуєте, що пливете над водою. Це чудова, цікава фотозупинка, особливо з боку Марафону. Проїжджаючи повз, ми побачимо вид на історично важливий Голубиний ключ з мосту.

11

Крайня південна точка

Найпівденніша точка суміжних Сполучених Штатів? Це прямо в Кі-Вест і позначене бетонним буєм, і ми під’їдемо до нього нашою петлею Кі-Вест. Всього в 90 милях на південь через воду лежить Куба. Щоб сфотографуватися, утворюватимуться довгі черги, тому вирушайте раніше, щоб уникнути натовпу. Або просто зберігайте розслаблене ставлення до Кі-Вест і насолоджуйтесь моментом, чекаючи своєї черги.

12

Старий семимильний міст

Нещодавно знову відкрито для прогулянок, їзди на велосипеді та риболовлі

13

Лікарня для черепах

Перший у світі госпіталь для черепах був створений на Марафоні шляхом переобладнання старого мотелю. Черепах, яких врятували від зіткнень човнів, поліетиленових пакетів тощо, доставляють до лікарні для лікування та в більшості випадків зрештою випускають назад в океан.

14

Кі Ларго

Найдовший із Флорида-Кіс і перший Кі, на який ми прибудемо, покидаючи материкову частину США. 3 найпопулярніші зупинки на Кі-Ларго – Caribbean Club, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park і African Queen. Два з цих місць надихнули Голлівуд. Дайвери та навіть любителі підводного плавання знайдуть багато цікавих можливостей для вивчення в прозорих теплих водах.

Florida Keys

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi-day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below

16

Bahia Honda State Park

The Bahia Honda State Park is rightly considered the best beach in the Florida Keys and ranks in the top 10 of all beaches in the USA. On a nice warm day, this is absolutely a recommended stop for a cooling swim or even just to get some sand and water between your toes.

17

Anne's Beach

One of the Key's nicest beaches on the Lower Matecumbe Key. There's 300 feet of newly replaced boardwalk that provides access to different areas of the beach where the water is almost always, warm, clear, and calm. Even a worthwhile stop for a photo if you don't feel like swimming.

18

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum

Located in the heart of Old Town Key West, lies the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum. America's iconic author called Key West his home for 10 years. Tour inside the house and gardens to learn more about his books, 4 wives, and children and see the 40 polydactyl cats that are descendants of his famous white six-toed cat, Snow White.

19

National Key Deer Refuge

The tiny endangered Key Deer are now found exclusively in the Florida Keys. They are good swimmers, perhaps allowing them to survive hurricanes like Irma. Today, vehicle collisions are the number one threat, so you'll see slow driving zones to help protect them, especially around Big Pine Key.

20

Key West

You might be surprised to learn the vibrant town of Key West was once the largest city in all of Florida. Being only 90 miles from Cuba and on major shipping routes from South America, Key West is a unique fusion of American, Cuban and Latino cultures. The architecture is beautifully stylish. The streets are lively and there are quite a few recommended places to visit on this compact island.

21

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

Why should Parks just preserve what is on land? The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was the first in the US to be designated as an undersea park. It covers about 70 nautical square miles with terrain ranging from mangrove swamps to shallow-water coral and deep-sea reefs, ideal for scuba diving. Visitors to the park can snorkel with multitudes of fish while exploring the Christ of the Deep Statue and even the remnants of an old Spanish shipwreck.

22

Pigeon Key

The tiny 5 acre Pigeon Key played a pivotal role for railroad workers building the final stages of the Florida East Coast Railway's Overseas Railway project, which would connect passengers from New York to Key West, and even continue by boat to Havana, without ever leaving the carriage. The Old Seven Mile Bridge passed right through the island which served as worker's homes and camp. After taking a battering after Hurricane Irma, bridge reconstruction continues for those hoping to walk to Pigeon Key once again. Access currently is by short ferry boat ride starting from the visitor center in Marathon, and is an added bonus.

23

Seven Mile Bridge

Seven Mile Bridge is the longest of the bridges on the Overseas Highway. You will truly feel like you are floating over the water. It's a great, interesting photo stop, especially from the Marathon side. We will catch views of the historically significant Pigeon Key from the bridge as we drive by.

24

Old Seven Mile Bridge

Recently re-opened for walking, biking, and fishing

25

The Turtle Hospital

The world's first dedicated Turtle Hospital was created on Marathon, by converting an old motel. Turtles who have been rescued from boat collisions, plastic bags and more are brought to the hospital to be treated and in most cases, ultimately released back into the ocean.

26

Key Largo

The longest of the Florida Keys and the first Key we will arrive on when leaving the USA mainland. 3 of the most popular stops on Key Largo are the Caribbean Club, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen. Two of these locations have had Hollywood inspiration. Divers and even snorkelers will find many interesting features to explore in the clear, warm waters.

It covers about 70 nautical square miles with terrain ranging from mangrove swamps to shallow-water coral and deep-sea reefs, ideal for scuba diving. Visitors to the park can snorkel with multitudes of fish while exploring the Christ of the Deep Statue and even the remnants of an old Spanish shipwreck.

Pigeon Key

The tiny 5 acre Pigeon Key played a pivotal role for railroad workers building the final stages of the Florida East Coast Railway's Overseas Railway project, which would connect passengers from New York to Key West, and even continue by boat to Havana, without ever leaving the carriage. The Old Seven Mile Bridge passed right through the island which served as worker's homes and camp. After taking a battering after Hurricane Irma, bridge reconstruction continues for those hoping to walk to Pigeon Key once again. Access currently is by short ferry boat ride starting from the visitor center in Marathon, and is an added bonus.

95

Seven Mile Bridge

Seven Mile Bridge is the longest of the bridges on the Overseas Highway. You will truly feel like you are floating over the water. It's a great, interesting photo stop, especially from the Marathon side. We will catch views of the historically significant Pigeon Key from the bridge as we drive by.

Key Largo

The longest of the Florida Keys and the first Key we will arrive on when leaving the USA mainland. 3 of the most popular stops on Key Largo are the Caribbean Club, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen.

Bahia Honda State Park

The Bahia Honda State Park is rightly considered the best beach in the Florida Keys and ranks in the top 10 of all beaches in the USA. On a nice warm day, this is absolutely a recommended stop for a cooling swim or even just to get some sand and water between your toes.

101

Anne's Beach

One of the Key's nicest beaches on the Lower Matecumbe Key. There's 300 feet of newly replaced boardwalk that provides access to different areas of the beach where the water is almost always, warm, clear, and calm. Even a worthwhile stop for a photo if you don't feel like swimming.

102

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum

Located in the heart of Old Town Key West, lies the Ernest Hemingway House and Museum. America's iconic author called Key West his home for 10 years. Tour inside the house and gardens to learn more about his books, 4 wives, and children and see the 40 polydactyl cats that are descendants of his famous white six-toed cat, Snow White.

103

National Key Deer Refuge

The tiny endangered Key Deer are now found exclusively in the Florida Keys. They are good swimmers, perhaps allowing them to survive hurricanes like Irma. Today, vehicle collisions are the number one threat, so you'll see slow driving zones to help protect them, especially around Big Pine Key.

104

Key West

You might be surprised to learn the vibrant town of Key West was once the largest city in all of Florida. Being only 90 miles from Cuba and on major shipping routes from South America, Key West is a unique fusion of American, Cuban and Latino cultures. The architecture is beautifully stylish. The streets are lively and there are quite a few recommended places to visit on this compact island.
