About Islamorada, Village of Islands

Islamorada, Village of Islands
 

Islamorada, often called the 'Sportfishing Capital of the World,' is located in the Florida Keys, spanning five islands: Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, and Indian Key. Situated between the saltwater wilderness of the Everglades National Park and the deep-blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, it provides unparalleled access to fishing and other water-based activities. The area's history is rich, with its roots dating back to the indigenous tribes who first inhabited the islands thousands of years ago. In addition to fishing, Islamorada offers an array of outdoor recreation such as snorkeling in the coral reefs, kayaking through mangrove tunnels, and sightseeing at the History of Diving Museum. Visitors can also explore the charming boutiques and art galleries or unwind at the numerous waterfront parks.
