Florida Keys Travel Guide

Do you dream of a tropical destination with the best food, best drinks, and the best fun-in-the-sun experiences? Look no further than the Florida Keys.
I’ve RV’d up and down the Keys more times than I can count. Key Largo was the place where I fell in love with being on the paddleboard and Fort Zachary Taylor was where I got to see the ocean come alive beneath the surface. Bahia Honda is where I repeatedly see Manatees. I feel like they’re following me at this point.
But figuring out where the best spots are takes years and years of travel.
I know planning a trip to the Florida Keys can be a lot of work.
That’s why I created this guide.
This guidebook and interactive Google map gives you an overview of how to travel from one island to the next, where to stay (RV parks + brick and mortar) and what to see in one easy-to-reference place so you can make the most out of your trip. Other books and guides out there don’t include a downloadable map even though they try to be everything to everyone, in the end, end up telling you nothing.
My advice comes from years of on-the-ground and in-the-water-experience. I’ve been to the Keys multiple times every year for the past 11 years. I’ve booked trips for friends and family and led tours for a former company before I wrote this guide.
Because of weather events, the Keys change every year. What might have been open in 2021 is no longer because of Hurricane Ian. We are living in a new age of travel and anything written prior to 2021 is outdated.
It takes someone who visits multiple times per year to write a proper, up to date guide.
This guidebook is made from the heart – from one traveler to another – and is filled with the specific, practical information I wished I had when I planned my first and second trip to the Keys.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned veteran looking to uncover new adventures, consider me your personal concierge to the Keys.
