Things to Do
Islamorada has something for the entire family, regardless of
age. Whether you are coming to fish, dive, boat, jet-ski, kayak,
windsurf, swim with dolphins or just to enjoy gorgeous sunsets, this
is the place for you and your family.
On the water
Our island is often called the
sport fishing capital of the world. You can go offshore in the
Gulf to catch big game or stalk tarpon, permit or bonefish in the
shallow backcountry waters of the Florida Bay. There are some
great guides who can teach you the basics or can take the more
experienced fisherman to some of the hottest spots in the Keys. If
you want to rent a boat, we recommend

Under the water
For divers, the waters off Islamorada offer both reef and wreck
diving. Many of the reefs are just minutes away,
are only 10 to 15 feet deep and make for great snorkeling. Most dive
shops offer day and night dives, equipment rentals and lessons.
For the kids
There are a variety of activities for families with children.
Visit
Theater of the Sea and swim with dolphins. Go to
Robby's to
feed the tarpon. Visit the national park at
Indian Key.
There are also a number of local parks and beaches, including
Anne's
Beach which is right down the street from Ryan's Place and the
new
Founders Park on Plantation Key.
Restaurants and entertainment
Islamorada has some of the best restaurants in the Keys. You can
get anything, but our fresh local seafood is almost always
everyone's choice. Try conch chowder, stone crab, dolphin, yellow
tail, grouper or Florida lobsters.
Uncles is
one of our favorites. Cuban Fried yellowtail is one of their
specialties. The Islamorada Fish Company is great for lunch or
dinner. Their fish sandwich is famous. They also do shark
feeding at dusk most nights. For breakfast, try Mangrove
Mike's.
After a day on the water or by the pool, enjoy a fabulous sunset
at Papa
Joe's, Morada Bay or the
Lor-e-lei. There are a number of places that have live music
every night.
