Very heavily forested, with great nature trails. Fascinating snorkeling, too (see Bahia Honda State Park).
-
There is no doubt that bicycling is one of the best ways to see the Keys. The roads are fairly bike-friendly, especially in Key West, and bicycle rentals are readily available.

The many dozens of marinas in the Keys are full of companies ready to rent you whatever kind of boat you would like – or to take you out, if you prefer.

Although it appears to be insensate rock, coral is actually a living organism, and a very fragile one at that, easily damaged by the slightest touch.
-
Walk the nature trails to Florida Bay and check out the Museum of Natural History of the Florida Keys and the Adderly Town Historic Site.
-
Notable for its S-curved neck, distinctive beak, and spectacular diving skills, this is one of the most fascinating of Keys birds.
-
Similar to herons are the great egret, the snowy egret (distinguishable by its black legs and yellow feet), and the reddish egret.
-
Deep-sea fishermen find the Keys to be paradise. With the Gulf Stream nearby, these waters offer the most varied fishing imaginable. Boat trips are easy to come by; try the Key West Fishing Club.
-
Looe Key Reef is one of the Keys’ most spectacular coral reefs and is great for snorkeling and diving. Call for information about boat trips to the best spots.
