Back in 1993 was the first time when I came
to the Florida Keys and I immediately knew I
need to come back a.s.a.p. Looking back, I
am very thankful for any local information
I got. Now that I am a Key West local myself,
I decided to pass on a couple "secrets" to you...
Flying in, I suggest to fly to Miami and get
a rental car to start your way down to Key West.
Take your time since there are beautiful places
left and right of the US1 Overseas Highway.
If you want to fly straight to Key West I suggest
to hop on Delta Airlines coming in from Atlanta.

Bahia Honda's long white sandy beach is
considered to be the most beautiful natural
beach in the Florida Keys. It's also regarded
as the best beach for swimming, since
its waters spread wider and deeper than other
beaches. Rare birds and plants living
in the mangrove thickets and hardwood hammocks
exhibit the area's native plant and
wildlife. Camping in this lush environment and
tarpon fishing under the Bahia Honda
Bridge contribute to making this park a popular
destination year round.
