Planning your vacation to the Keys

We have put together some resources to help you maximize your enjoyment of the Florida Keys.


Below are some book recommendations to familiarize yourself with the area. Fishing, of course, is a major hobby with the locals. Let's not forget the importance of the local history and its effects to today's Florida Keys. Of course, what's a vacation without good food? Learn to cook like a "Conch", a native of Key West!

Things to bring

This will depend on you and your travelling companions. However, there are a number of "must have" items:
Obviously, a camera is a must. The one pictured here is the one I have and I have been very happy with it. Because our sunlight is strong in the Keys, it is sometimes helpful to set it to "Night" and force the flash to come on. This prevents the photos from having too much contrast. A disposable camera that can get wet is great if you plan on being in or on the water. It's a small enough investment that you can get one for each of the kids!
A digital camcorder of good quality makes wonderful memories. This is the one my husband has his eye on. This is the best non-professional model. Well, if he might just have to settle for this one for now ;-).
For a true professional underwater video camera, check this company.
Here's a free program to help you with all those wonderful vacation souvenirs.
