Things to Do
In The Florida Keys, adventure is just a footstep (or paddle, or fin) away. Whether you’re chasing sunrise paddle-trips, sunset sails, or discovering hidden mangrove tunnels, there’s always something new to try. Museums, wildlife tours, water sports, quirky local events—every destination brings its own flavor of fun. These listings span every kind of experience: rugged and wild, soft and serene, absurdly beautiful. So map out some time, pack your curiosity, and let the Keys pull you in.
