10 Classes & Workshops in Florida Keys That You Shouldn't Miss

March 1, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

Stretching 126 miles south toward Cuba, the stunning Keys are a perfect escape. Highlights along the way include Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key and the irrepressible Key West. Get up close with an amazing array of fish while snorkeling, diving or fishing in the warm turquoise waters. Creeks, coral and costumed spectacles are other lures along the way. Highway 1 is a spectacular ribbon tying together the islands and atolls of this paradise between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.

As a part of the Key Lime Sailing Club, the American Sailing Academy is one of the few facilities in the world to make learn-to-sail dreams come true in a perfect, economical, vacation setting. The resort has a fleet of Catalina 22's available for guests to use as soon as they complete their classes and even larger boats for the advanced sailing courses. This is a unique learning experience. We will teach you to sail safely and with confidence. Our instructors have made sailing their profession, and are some of the best in the industry.

After you complete your ASA-101 course, you'll be able to sail off on your own and explore the waters of Buttonwood Sound and Florida Bay. If you decide to stay at KLSC, you will have a boat at your disposal for the rest of your stay! There simply is no other place like this.

Our children ages 5 - 12 all loved learning how to build a professional sand castle! They were all fully engaged and had so much fun. It was a great family activity.

We happened upon Seaside Glasswork art studio and gallery while visiting another shop in the same strip shopping center, and Seaside Glassworks turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit to the Keys. The art glass is so unique and so stunning. It was a pleasure to just wander around the gallery and look at the glasswork. As I talked with the artist, Stephanie, I learned that she prepares art pieces on commission, so I had her create a glass "painting" for me of a manatee I photographed during a snorkel adventure. Stephanie was easy to work with, and sent me multiple "previews." The final piece exceeded my expectations, and is a beautiful addition to our home. Highly recommend a stop in this gallery.

Great little gem in Marathon! We wish we would've found it sooner! There's a coffee shop upstairs with a great selection - we had a latte with almond milk and cold brew coffee. They offer several different artistic activities that seem great for both adults and children! Everyone was so friendly. We'll be sure to come back on our next trip!
