This diving haven comes with a chill vibe (and lots of Key lime pie).
South Florida’s Key Largo is a small island with a big profile, thanks to its coral reefs and water sports. The northernmost of the Florida Keys, this area draws serious water-sports enthusiasts — snorkeling, diving and kayaking are all on offer — as well as families looking to swim with the dolphins. There are also stellar beaches and two standout culinary favorites: fresh conch and Key lime pie.
