Islamorada — the sports fishing capital of the world — is more than just a destination for the best fishing. From seafood smorgasbords at every local restaurant to peaceful time spent swaying in hammocks, Islamorada is a quaint getaway that’s perfect for any weekend.
Islamorada, often viewed as the less exciting version of Key West, is actually the opposite.
A treasure that’s en route to Key West, Islamorada is an underrated island that stands out with its laid back vibes, small-town feel and locals who don’t mind sharing their secret fishing spots.
Only have a weekend to getaway? Islamorada, also known as the Village of Islands, is south of Key Largo and less than a two-hour drive from Miami. Rise and shine early, and head out to the 20-mile slice of heaven known as Islamorada.
