Islamorada, Village of Islands, FL

Islamorada stretches across six islands in the Florida Keys, connected by the scenic Overseas Highway (US-1) about 80 miles south of Miami. Most visitors drive down from the mainland on this two-hour route with stunning water views, though some arrive from Key West an hour to the southwest. The village markets itself as the "Sportfishing Capital of the World," and charter boats still use the same dockside scales at Bud n' Mary's marina that weighed Hemingway's catches in the 1940s.
