Hotels in Florida Keys, United States

The Florida Keys, a subtropical island chain stretching from the tip of Florida into the Atlantic, are famous for the only living coral barrier reef in the continental US. In the dry winter season (70°F/21°C), you can snorkel or dive at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, or fish for tarpon in Islamorada. Summer brings hot temperatures (90°F/32°C) and afternoon thunderstorms, but it's the best time to visit the quieter islands like Marathon for cheaper rates, or explore Key West's 1800s shipwreck museums and Hemmingway's house-perfect during the year's sunniest months.
