Travel Guide for Lower Keys & Travel Itinerary

Starkly different from their northerly neighbors, the Lower Keys are quiet, heavily wooded and predominantly residential. Built on a limestone rather than a coral base, these islands have a flora and fauna all their own. It feels very quiet as you head south: everyone's gone fishing or is snoozing in a hammock. The first place of consequence you'll hit after crossing Seven Mile Bridge is Bahia Honda State Park at MM37 (daily 8am-dusk; cars $4, pedestrians and cyclists 50c; tel 305/872-3210), one of the Keys' prettiest spots. Its lagoon has a beckoning natural beach and pristine, two-tone ocean waters, which can be enjoyed on a leisurely kayak ride ($20 per hour). Divers should head for the Looe Key Marine Sanctuary, signposted from the Overseas Highway on Ramrod Key - a five-square-mile protected reef area, easily the equal of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The sanctuary office (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm) can provide free maps, but to visit the reef you'll need the services of a dive shop, like the neighboring Looe Key Dive Center at MM27.5 (tel 1-800/942-5397). In the main Lower Keys settlement, BIG PINE KEY , the visitor center is at MM31 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-3pm; tel 305/872-2411). Of the nearby motels , Looe Key Reef Resort , MM27.5 (tel 305/872-2215; $50-75), is a favorite with divers, an  © 2003 by Rough Guides Ltd. as trustee for its Authors. Published by Rough Guides.

ideal base for visiting the marine sanctuary. There are also a couple of luxurious, secluded B&Bs along Long Beach Drive, off the Overseas Highway; you'll need to book ahead. Try Deer Run , MM32.5 (tel 305/872-2015; $75-100), or Barnacle , MM32.5 (tel 305/872-3298; $75-100). Exceptionally friendly, even for the Keys, Mangrove Mama's , MM20 on Sugarloaf Key (tel 305/745-3030), serves stupendous local cuisine in a cheery shack with a tropical garden.
