Destination Key Largo

WELCOME TO

As you approach the first of the Florida Keys, prepare for an incredible sight – Key Largo, the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay from the top of the Jewfish Creek Bridge, soaring 65 feet above the water. Welcome to the island of Key Largo, your first key in paradise where you can kick off your shoes and leave the cares of the world behind. The draw has always been the sea – its beauty and its bounty sounding the siren song. Clear waters beckon you to explore the only living coral reefs in the continental U.S. at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. In 2020 Pennekamp, the first underwater park in the United States, is celebrating their 60th anniversary. Be sure to check out their 30,000-gallon saltwater aquarium. Scuba diving and snorkeling the fragile reef reveals a Technicolor explosion of tropical fish and calming coral “gardens”. Visitors flock to the Christ of the Deep statue, which resides north of the 510-foot U.S.S. Spiegel Grove artificial reef. For fishermen, nothing beats the rewards of a day spent hooking snapper, grouper, and amberjack or landing tarpon or one of the area’s gray ghosts – the elusive bonefish, found on the shallow-water flats. Watersports abound for the adrenaline enthusiast and nature lover alike – rent a Jet Ski or a kayak and chart your own course. Or leave the “driving” to any of our qualified eco-tour operators, who can show you manatees, brilliant roseate spoonbills as they roost and soar overhead, pods of playful wild dolphins and more. For Land-based enchantment, nature trails at Pennekamp Park and Everglades National Park offer a glimpse into South Florida’s unique hammock and marshland ecosystems. When night comes, island living means dining on fresh-caught seafood at a waterfront restaurant and then relaxing to the sounds of waves lapping softly at the shore or enjoying live entertainment at area venues. But don’t worry about a dress code – Key Largo is laid back and casual, even at its most formal. However, if the urge to dress up overcomes you, go for it! Virtually anything goes here! From first-class resorts to luxurious oceanfront estates, to charming beach bungalows and small boutique hotels, you’ll find your own slice of paradise to call home. If island time fits the rhythm of your life, Key Largo is sure to please, whether you choose to fill your days with activities or relax in the glow of our spectacular sunsets.

Here are tips on how you can help protect our valuable coral reefs: • Support organizations like Coral Restoration Foundation and REEF; they both work to protect coral reefs. In your area find other groups and volunteer to keep the oceans, rivers, lakes or other waters in your area clean. Clean water is important everywhere. All watersheds affect the oceans and eventually, the coral reefs. • Safeguard our coral during diving and snorkeling by wearing sunscreen that does not contain oxybenzone and octinoxate. These chemicals may harm the reefs. • Also, don’t touch, stand, or anchor your boat on the reef. • Organize a beach clean-up. • Conserve water – using less water, means less runoff and wastewater that resolve in polluting our oceans. • Use only environmental safe or organic fertilizers. All chemicals and pollutants eventually flow into our oceans. • Learn more about the vital importance of coral reefs. • Get your family, friends and community involved… How to Protect Our Coral Reefs

income for local economies and leisure to millions, and compounds isolated from organisms living on reefs hold vast medical potential. Did you now the Florida Reef Tract is an arcuate (bowlike) band of living coral reefs paralleling the Keys. The reef tract is located on a narrow shelf that drops off into the Straits of Florida. There are approximately 6,000 patch reefs along the reef tract, with 80 percent of these reefs found between northern Elliott Keys and North Key Largo.

Covering less than one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support an estimated 25 percent of all known marine species. And the variety of species living on coral reefs is greater than almost anywhere else in the world. Scientists estimate that more than one million species of plants and animals are associated with coral reef ecosystems. With its extensive reef tract, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary protects

more than 50 species of coral, including the federally protected Staghorn and Elkhorn corals. The sanctuary is also home to more than 500 species of fish and countless other types of marine life. The biodiversity of reefs and the habitat reefs provide for other species are also the source of other benefits. For example, reef-based fisheries provide food and income, reef-based recreation like diving and snorkeling provide

Soaking Up Sun and Fun in Key Largo

If you are more of a thrill- seeker, try soaring about the bay attached to a parasail. Once you are strapped into a harness, the motorboat pulls forward, your chute begins to fill, and then you climb into the air, way above the surface of the bay. While soaring overhead, you will be treated to a view of Key Largo, something you will never forget. If you’re looking for other adventures, hire one of our fishing guides, or just drop in a line from the shore. Rent a personal watercraft, a paddleboat, or a sailing catamaran – they are all readily available around town. For details on equipment purchasing or rentals, sunrise or sunset guided tours, scuba or snorkeling lessons, check the “On the Water” section in this issue. Also, we have direct links to all our chamber members at our website: www.keylargochamber. org. Key Largo offers so many ways to get out on the water and enjoy an extended summer. Come to Key Largo, and just add water!

Key Largo is known for its laid-back lifestyle with a cozy impression of a summer vacation between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, all through the year. Get ready to plunge yourself into our slice of Paradise. Key Largo is recognized as the Diving Capital of the World and offers dive and snorkel services to the continental United States’ only living coral barrier reef, the Spiegel Grove shipwreck, and much more. We have many experienced dive companies to take you on memorable dive trips to the reef. They can also teach you to dive and help get you certified. There are also many other ways to appreciate and partake in water sports here in Key Largo and the fabulous Florida Keys... Snorkeling is a magnificent way to unite with the aquatic underworld. As you float gently on the surface, you may see snappers, parrotfish, starfish, tarpon, and schools of silversides swim among colorful corals and sponges. You don’t have to be a world-class swimmer to enjoy snorkeling in the Keys. The water surrounding the Florida Keys is shallow and normally calm,

even on the reef, even rookie snorkelers can quickly and safely get the hang of the sport. Our dive and water sports companies know the best places to go for the most dramatic viewing of marine life in the sparkling clear ocean waters surrounding the reef system. If you would like to venture out on your own, rental shops can point out the best spots for snorkeling from shore, and the best views of the most stupendous undersea life at the reef. Paddleboarding is another way to add water to your vacation. Being on a paddleboard is like walking on water. The shallow, calm waters off Key Largo make this an ideal place to take up this easy to learn sport. Our local waters are so clear, you can see right down to the bottom and watch fish swimming by. Just like paddleboarding, Kayaking is another easy, peaceful way to get out on the water. For a simpler, gentler paddle, explore the narrow, winding mangrove trails of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park or those off Garden Cove Park. Watch herons, egrets, and ibis take flight as you round the

“S” curves in another twist in the mangrove trails. Being on the open bay waters and having the opportunity to see manatees and playful dolphins splashing around is a wonderful experience. You can even dock at one of our waterfront restaurants for a bite to eat. Next up is swimming. Swimming in warm waters around Key Largo is a year-round delight. Most of the waterfront hotels have small swimming beaches. Also, John Pennekamp and Harry Harris parks have beaches as well. The best thing to do —And a locals’ favorite form of swimming— is jump into the ocean (or bay) from the deck of an anchored boat. But before you do, make sure you have a swim ladder over the side of the boat for easy access back aboard. And always be mindful of currents that could take you away from the boat. If a pool is your idea of a good place to swim, Jacobs Aquatic Center in Key Largo has a lap pool, low and high dive boards, and a kiddie pool with a pirate ship and waterfalls. Many hotels also have their own swimming pools, fresh and saltwater.
