The 9 Best Nature & Parks in Islamorada, Florida (FL)

September 25, 2021 Leida Jutras

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.

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.

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.
