Key Largo Florida

Key Largo Florida: Its big “claim to fame” is the 1950s classic movie Key Largo starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

Can't you just see Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall sitting here, having a glass of wine?

Interestingly, the movie wasn’t named after the town but the other way around.

The town’s former name was Rock Harbor but actually changed its name in 1952 so that people were able to associate it with the movie.

Key Largo has one of the biggest and best beaches in the Florida Keys, but that’s only the beginning.

Some of the most incredible coral reef formations in the world are found here in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the world’s first underwater state park.

Needless to say, snorkeling and scuba diving are extremely popular here and people come from all over the world to experience this incredible Florida state park.

The water is always full of action- from boats enjoying the sun and surf to jet skiers and anglers catching some of Florida’s best fish.

This is definitely an activity-friendly beach and you’ll never run out of things to do at Key Largo Florida.
