Florida Keys Insight Pocket Guide

The Florida Keys stretch for 290 kilometres, from Miami's Biscayne Bay to the Dry Tortugas, just north of Cuba. From Key Largo, location of the Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall film involving a killer hurricane, all the way to Key West, Hemingway's home for many years and a magnet for high-spirited eccentrics ever since, most of the well-known islands trickle in a line along the famous US Highway 1. There are do-it-yourself itineraries, including all-day tours, half-day tours and short excursions. Hotels, restaurants and shops and supplies are also provided, with practical information on how to get there, when to go, what clothes to take, what visas to obtain and what to do in an emergency.
