| One of the largest towns in the Keys, Islamorada is located just south of Key Largo and is 18 miles long and less than one mile wide. Islamorada is known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World". The Village supports the largest concentration of charter fishing boats in the entire Florida Keys. Islamorada is also a destination point for divers because of the abundance of tropical marine life, amd the islands’ proximity to the largest living reef in the contiguous US. Recently, the Florida Keys were awarded the title of “America’s #1 Dive Destination.” During September and October, Heritage Days includes historic reenactments, a golf tournament, and the Indian Key Festival. Islamorada has plentiful restaurants serving local delicacies to classical gourmet cuisine, unique shops and other attractions, such as the “Theater of the Sea,” and the “Windley Key Fossil Reef State Geologic Park.” Several competitions are held in the area each year, from fishing tournaments to boat, jet-ski and windsurfing races. A performing arts center hosts a cultural series and the community theater produces half a dozen shows annually. |
