The 10 Best Things to do in Islamorada, Florida (FL)

September 21, 2021 Velvet Mowry

Six islands in the Florida Keys comprise the village of Islamorada, known for its prime sport fishing. Rent a boat or participate in a guided tour to fish, snorkel, or swim with marine life. Fresh seafood is the hallmark of the Islamorada dining scene. Visit a tropical-themed bar to soak in the full Florida Keys experience with a frozen umbrella drink. For a dose of culture, take in fine art and music while strolling through the Morada Way Art and Cultural District.

Florida Keys Brewing Company

The Keys only production brewery is now open to the public. In the heart of the Morada Way Arts and Cultural District, located at MM 81.6 Ocean side is where you can find Florida Keys Brewing Co. We are a small micro brewery with an artsy island vibe and brewing close to 30 styles of beer annually. YOU CAN ONLY BUY FKBC BEER IN OUR TASTING ROOM. We only brew small batches until our larger equipment arrives early this summer. Then we will only be found in Monroe county. So, stop by and have a pint, a flight, or fill a growler and take it home with you. Open every day 1-9. MEET ME AT THE BREW CO!!!

We walked all of the trails (which totaled a little more than a mile). Great opportunity to see the tropical trees, quarry walls, and fossils. Self-guided tour. Very informative. The park offers a motorized wheelchair that can be used on the trails.

Islamorada Brewery & Distillery

Islamorada has been called many things. It's referred to as the sport fishing capital of the world, and has the longstanding reputation of a drinking town with a fishing problem. Most people who visit call it paradise, but at Islamorada Brewery and Distillery we simply call it home. It's here on this small island in the Florida Keys that Islamorada Beer Co and Islamorada Distilling were founded, with a goal to make quality local craft beer and spirits that complement our lifestyle. We are passionate about brewing Florida Keys craft beer and distilling island rum, vodka, and gin. From our local favorites to our rotating and seasonal brews, there's always something delicious on tap.

We managed to get here 2 or 3 times for a relax in the evenings, so I made my way through each of the beers on the board with their tasting flights. Everything was excellent - friendly service, superb beers (especially the No Wake Zone), nice merchandise on display, and plenty of chance to takeaway booze with you (which we did!). Wife loved the cocktails - said the Key Lime martini was a must try. Great stuff - looking forward to you expanding into the UK!

A fun way to spend an hour on the way down to Key West. Lots of handmade items from local artists and quick snacks make this a most enjoyable stop - we did it twice - both ways on our trip to the Keys.

Anne's Beach

Reviewed By BikingBaker - Greenville, United States

The few beach entries were small but the views from the sheltered picnic tables are wonderful. We got there early - 11:30 and had our pick of spots. By 11:50 they were full. And that was a week-day. Can't imagine what it is ike on the week-ends! Rest room at one end of the parking lot. There is a second parking lot no rest room. It is a nice, easy walk and would be great for accessibility.
