The drive from Key Largo to Key West is about 90 miles but if you take it straight through it'll be about 3 hours. You'll find two-lane, 4-lane, and quite a few bridges along the way, and it's not all at 60 miles an hour. It's hard to be in a hurry, so be patient, you'll get there eventually.
And of course during your trip you'll need a place to stay, and there is no shortage of great places to stay in the Keys. From a place to camp to an RV park, to 5 star luxury, it's waiting for you in the Keys.
We'll look at Tiki bars, restaurants and hotels in the Florida Keys. What could be better?
Your Guide To Restaurants And Hotels In The Florida Keys
Key Largo
Key Largo is the first major area in the upper Florida Keys. It was originally named "Cayo Largo" by Spanish explorers, meaning "long key." During the 19th century, Key Largo was a hub for shipwrecks, and salvagers known as "wreckers" would loot the ships that ran aground on the treacherous coral reefs surrounding the island. In the early 20th century, Key Largo began to attract tourists, and the first hotel was built on the island in the 1920s. During World War II, the island was used as a training ground for soldiers and as a base for naval operations. Today, Key Largo is a great getaway for tourists, and even south Florida locals, known for its beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, and abundant marine life, and only about an hour from Miami International airport.
Key Largo Restaurants
Shipwrecks Bar & Grill is a popular destination for seafood lovers visiting the Keys. This waterfront restaurant is known for its fresh seafood, and laid-back atmosphere. It's one of the first Tiki bars in the keys located on Garden Cove Drive, on the channel just off of Garden Cove, across from Rattlesnake Key. The restaurant also has live music on weekends, making it a great spot to spend a laid-back evening in Key Largo.
The Caribbean Club in Key Largo is the subject of a large debate. The place was NOT the site of the 1948 movie "Key Largo" starring Humphrey Bogart, contrary to popular belief. While the movie is set in Key Largo and features a character named Johnny Rocco who owns a hotel in the area, the actual filming of "Key Largo" took place at Warner Bros. Studios in California.
Even so, the Caribbean Club is a must visit while in Key Largo. It's the oldest bar in the upper keys and one of the "last relics of Old Key Largo". You can sip on their famous Key Lime Pie Rum Punch under the palm trees or try a locally crafted beer while chatting it up with one of Key Largo's favorite locals.
And, in true "pirate" spirit, the Caribbean Club is an all-cash bar. No credit cards or debit cards, just cash.
Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill Restaurant takes its name from the former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Jimmy is also known for his love of the Florida Keys, and he has made the area his home for years. You may see him around on the water in his 39 foot fishing boat "Three Rings", named after his championship rings won during his coaching career.
Sundowner's is the next place to the south of Jimmy Johnson's. You'll find great views and cold beer right on the water, with live music. Many people say Sundowner's is their favorite place in the Florida Keys.
Cactus Jack's Sports Bar and Pub This is truly a locals hangout. It's got a little dive vibe to it that makes it true to the Keys. If you’re looking for a higher end place, this isn't it, but if you want down to earth people, cold beer and maybe even a pool table, this is your place.
Snook's Bayside the menu here is among the best in Key Largo, and you have to try the tuna nachos! There's a beautiful bar under the Tiki hut, plenty of seating on the patio, live music and a waterfront view. This place has it all.
Snapper's Oceanfront Restaurant & Bar is home of the world famous Turtle Club, which took a pretty good beating during the last hurricane. The place is being rebuilt, and supposedly it'll be bigger and better than before. There are actually 3 bars at Snappers. Including the Turtle Club, there's the Tiki Bar and the Reef Bar in the main dining room.
Snappers is actually a complete resort in Key Largo. There are 4 unique guest suites, including the "Boom Boom Room". (Not sure we want to ask).
Check the calendar at Snapper's for live music and events. It seems like there's always something going on here.

A Hilton Curio Collection property, this was a Hilton originally but was battered by hurricane Irma and renovated into what is now Bakers Cay Resort.
Tavernier
Tavernier is the next Key to the south of Key Largo. The town is situated in Monroe County and is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, and like all of the Keys, its laid-back atmosphere. It's also home to a number of restaurants, shops, and other amenities, making it a convenient place to stay for tourists exploring the Florida Keys. It's a smaller, quieter area, so if you're looking for some quiet "Island time", then this would be a good area. Tavernier stretches from Mile Marker (MM) 90 to MM 72.
Having said that it does have some places you should see.
Restaurants in Tavernier
Habanos On The Creek if you like Cuban food, you'll love this place. The Cuban sandwich is authentic, and the Cuban Cheese Steak should be on your list. It's a little joint, but another quaint unique place in the Florida Keys.
Old Tavernier Restaurant & Lounge The "Local's Favorite" since 1988, the "OldTav" is particular about serving only classic local seafood, and will also serve up a tasty pizza from their diverse Greek, Italian and Caribbean menu. It's fine dining, with the flair of the Keys. Mile Marker 90.

Hotels In Tavernier
Coconut Palm Inn The current owners purchased the property in 2001, and renamed as the Coconut Palm Inn. It was totally renovated and updated into the property that it is today. Coconut Palm Inn is now a small, secluded, award-winning property unique to the Florida Keys. It has 450 feet of beachfront, two large docks, spectacular sunsets, exotic tropical gardens, and updated accommodations and amenities. It's a little best kept secret in the upper Keys.
Atlantic Bay Resort With 500 feet of waterfront and a private beach, the Atlantic Bay Resort offers something that not a lot of places in the Key can offer. There aren't really many "beaches" in the Keys, like there are up in the Panhandle. That's why this is a hidden gem. There's a variety of accommodations from efficiency, cottage, and suites. The availability of a dock and boat ramp is also a great feature for guests who want to bring their own boats.
Islamorada
The quick drive through Tavernier gets you to Islamorada. It's like a broken record to say that it's a good place for fishing, boating, snorkeling, and diving, as well as many unique dining and shopping experiences. It's home to a number of historic sites and landmarks also, including the Hurricane Monument and the Theater of the Sea. It's a popular location in the Keys, and if you're a hard-core fisherman, this is a great place to hang out.
Restaurants in Islamorada
Holiday Isle Tiki Bar - Allegedly the home of the famous Rum Runner cocktail! This Tiki bar is known for its live music and laid-back atmosphere, and it's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
Captain Craig's is located right along the Overseas Highway in Tavernier. Known for the World-Famous Fish Sandwich and other delicious and creative sandwiches, it’s become a must stop for tourists passing through on their way to and from Key West. It’s also a favorite with locals.
Ciao Hound Kitchen & Bar Ciao Hound combines the rich flavors of Tuscany with fresh ingredients sourced from the Florida Keys. It's fun and family-friendly, but also stylish and romantic, making it the perfect spot for date nights as well. You can enjoy Rat Pack-era tunes while sipping on one of our Italian-inspired cocktails or a glass of wine from our full bar. And if you're feeling adventurous, try the Loaded Bloody Mary, served with prosciutto-wrapped shrimp and a chicken wing, it's a meal in a glass. And by the way, dogs are always welcome, even preferred at Ciao Hound! Florida Italian, Rat-Pack tunes, and dogs. Yes please!
Wahoo's Seafood Bar and Grill Located above Whale Harbor Marina, Wahoo's Bar and Grill serves up some of the freshest seafood in the Florida Keys. The menu features a variety of delicious preparations made to order. Dine on one of the two waterfront decks or in the air-conditioned dining room - either way, you'll be treated to stunning views of the crystal-clear Atlantic Ocean. And if you have a furry friend, don't worry - like most places in the Keys, Wahoo's is pet-friendly.
Whale Harbor Seafood Buffet This is a sister property of Wahoo's, and it's located conveniently right next door. Whale Harbor Seafood Feast has been a staple of Islamorada and the Florida Keys for over a century. The original building was destroyed by fire and the venue has been hit by hurricanes multiple times. However, the owners have persevered and rebuilt the venue into a beautiful multi-use space. Today, it's home to the Seafood Feast, a popular rooftop bar and grill called the SandBAR, and an elegant event center. The venue is also home to a piece of lifesaving history - the lighthouse. Wahoo's and Whale Harbor are two must-visit locations in Islamorada.
Ziggie & Mad Dogs Experience the ultimate steak dinner at Ziggie & Mad Dog's, where you can enjoy a perfectly grilled filet, ribeye, or porterhouse. Pair your steak with a delicious wine from our extensive collection, and don't forget to add a side like a loaded baked potato, creamed spinach, truffle mac & cheese, or potatoes au gratin. Seafood lovers will also find plenty to love at Ziggie & Mad Dog's, with daily catch preparations and a variety of shellfish options.
Lorelai Restaurant & Cabana Bar Hey, if you're tired of boring restaurants with lackluster views then you can check out the Lorelai. It's literally on the water, so you can enjoy your meal while trying to spot some dolphins (or at least pretending to for the gram). And the menu? It's seafood, seafood, and more seafood! But there are also some non-fish options for all you landlubbers out there. And when you're done chowing down, you can belly up to the Cabana Bar for a cold drink and some good vibes. Trust us, your taste buds (and Instagram followers) will thank you.
Islamorada Fish Company The Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant is one of the larger bar/restaurants in the Keys. It's tied to Bass Pro Shops and the huge World Wide Sportsman location next door. There's a huge saltwater fish tank inside and an even bigger one outside called the Ocean. There's a big Tiki style outdoor area, and you may just get a glimpse of a huge tarpon or even a cruising Manatee - from your barstool. You can have a casual meal at the outdoor bar or a more formal dinner in the dining room. It's worth the visit, for fishing gear, a cold beer and a great meal.
Green Turtle Inn Sid and Roxie founded The Green Turtle Inn Restaurant in 1947, a little roadside joint that turned into a popular restaurant known for its great food and comfortable overnight accommodations. The place was named for its specialties, sea turtle dishes such as turtle steaks, soups, and chowders, which were harvested from local waters. It's a popular location for tourists and locals alike, with a reputation for lively music, dancing, and the laid-back lifestyle of the Keys.
Square Grouper This new Islamorada location has the same fresh & local seafood, craft cocktail and wine selection that's made the original location on Cudjoe Key a hugely popular place in the Florida Keys for the past 15 years. It's a MM 80.4 on the bay side. You'll get an upscale but casual experience, with indoor and outdoor seating on the deck.
Lazy Days If you like Happy Hour, here you go. Every day from 4-6pm at Lazy Days you can get 50 cent peel and eat Shrimp, $1 Chicken Wings, Conch Fritters and Jalapeno Poppers. And for $5.99 you can get fresh Calamari and Tuna Tataki. Great apps on the cheap, and drink specials every day. And the dose of sunshine and water comes for free.
Robbie's Of Islamorada One of the most visited restaurants in the Keys, Robbie's is a place you have to experience at least once. You could say it's a tourist trap, but it's not. Yes, there will be a crowd there, but it really doesn't feel like it, if that even makes sense. Here you can feed the tarpon, which is pretty cool. Despite the fact they don't have huge teeth, like a shark, they can still draw blood. I got a mild scrape on the knuckle after one of these guys grabbed the fish from my fingers. No big deal, I'd totally do it again. Robbies is a great place to have a cold beer and something to eat while you're traveling to or from Key West, which is what a lot of people do. There's lots of opportunity to drop some cash on a shirt or a souvenir.
Habanos Oceanfront Nice little local place for great Cuban food. It's a small no-frills type place, right next to Caloosa Cove Resort and Marina.
Oceans 305 Now open to the public, this little waterfront place is at MM70 in the Fiesta Key Resort & Marina.

Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina It's no surprise that the Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina is a beloved destination in the Florida Keys for beach-goers, boaters, and more.

The on-site convenience store stocks frozen bait and fishing supplies, making it easy to gear up for a day out on the water.
Duck Key
Duck Key is actually 4 little islands on the Atlantic side, just north of Marathon. It's almost like someone decided that there was a need for another Key and built one, and just snapped it on. It's an upscale resort island area with private homes and rental properties. But the real prize on Duck Key is Hawk's Cay Resort.
Hawks Cay Resort The first time we came here we fell in love with this place. Hawks Cay Resort is full- on luxury in the Keys. The amenities are world class and the vibe is very chill and upscale. Truth be told, this is one of the best places in the Florida Keys.
The resort was hammered by hurricane Irma in 2017, and had to be closed for nearly 2 years and $50 million in renovations. But it's back better than ever.
You can rent guest rooms to private villas and even vacation homes. Each unit is well designed and has a range of amenities to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. And each room is a stone's throw from the pool or the private lagoon.
You can relax by the pool or head to the spa for an invigorating massage. For those who love the water, the resort offers water sports activities, including kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing. There are also several on-site restaurants.
But unlike other places in the keys, what makes Hawks Cay Resort really unique is its renowned dolphin encounter program, where guests can interact with bottlenose dolphins in a safe and controlled environment. This program is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
There's something for everyone at this world-class resort. It'll be on the upper end of the price spectrum but it's in a class of its own in the Florida Keys.
Restaurants On Duck Key

Marathon
So you're now in Marathon, which is basically the middle of the Florida Keys. You'll find several top-rated resorts, restaurants, night-life and attractions, including the famous Turtle Hospital and the Dolphin Research Center. Consider Marathon as a happy medium: there's quite a bit to do here, but the atmosphere is much more laid-back than Key West, and for the most part you'll find prices closer to reasonable. A lot of locals would rather live in Marathon because it's away from the hustle of Key West, but even if you're vacationing, you can spend several days here and not have a dull moment.
Hotels In Marathon, Florida

The rentals are three bedrooms, with nice living areas, fully equipped kitchens.

The Florida Keys - Final Thoughts About This U.S. Gem
Traveling through the Florida Keys is truly an unforgettable experience that can't be missed. It's a "Bucket List" trip for sure. The crystal clear waters, and endless activities make it a must-see destination for anyone looking to escape.
It's like being in the Caribbean, (without the cool Caribbean accents), every place takes the US dollar, and your cell phone works without an International plan.
As Gary Vaynerchuk says, "The best way to predict your future is to create it." So create your own Florida Keys adventure. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Cheers to the Florida Keys,
