Relax on Florida Keys' calm, manmade beaches – they're protected from waves by coral reefs so beaches don't form. For a family holiday in Florida Keys, stay near the white-powder beaches of Bahia Honda State Recreational Park.
Follow the locals to the secret sandy strip tucked away beyond Anne's Beach on your Florida Keys beach holiday. To escape completely, take a trip to the Florida Keys' outpost of Dry Tortugas to spot terns, cormorants and pelicans. Or snorkel on its unspoilt reefs, where you might even see a turtle.
On Florida Keys beach holidays, snorkel from the pebbly beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Historic Site in Key West to see coral and tropical fish. Or learn to windsurf on your Florida Keys beach holiday - Smathers Beach is popular – or jet ski at Holiday Isle. In Bahia Honda and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, off Key Largo, don your mask and flippers to snorkel amongst reefs and wrecks.
Your little ones can paddle safely in the waters, as the reefs protect Florida Keys' beaches from strong waves. Bahia Honda Recreational State Park's white beaches are the best in the Florida Keys: try the shallow waters of Caloosa Beach's marked swimming area. Choose shady Sombrero Beach or Anne's Beach for shallow water and gentle waves.
Take teenagers to Holiday Isle, a Florida Keys resort on Islamorada with Polynesian beach bars and trendy beachwear shops. Head south down the Florida Keys to Key West for nightly celebrations on waterfront Mallory Square. As the sun slips into the Gulf of Mexico, watch fire-eaters and acrobats and continue the party along Duval Street.
