4.  Key West, Florida

This isle is arguably the most famous of the Florida Keys.  Key West is perhaps best known for its colorful Caribbean-style, conch-like homes, coral reefs ripe for both scuba diving and snorkeling, and its interesting inhabitants. Be sure to see the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Learn about the author’s life and even see the furry descendants of Snow White, his famous six-toed cat.

5.  Marco Island, Florida

Marco Island is another worthy Floridian island destination. The largest of the state’s Ten Thousand Islands area, some claim it’s the most enchanting as well. Complete with frolicking dolphins, sun-bleached sand, and luxurious resorts, it’s also a great place for water sports such as boating, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Visit the Marco Island Historical Museum and the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
