Description
Called the Sport Fishing Capital of the World, Islamorada offers unrivalled opportunities for reeling in giant Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Marlin from deep offshore waters. Fishermen who prefer the backcountry flats will find an excellent challenge in the permit, bonefish, and tarpon that frequent the shallows. The waters surrounding Islamorada host more fishing tournaments than anywhere else in the U.S., and anglers can test their skills against Sailfish, snook, and more nearly every month of the year.
Famous diving sites include Alligator Reef and Little Conch Reef, both of which are known for their shipwrecks, their barracuda, and the beauty and diversity of their coral formations. Davis Reef is the place to see green moray eels, and the coral spurs at Pickles Reef rest beneath only 15 to 25 feet of water, making it an ideal site for snorkelers. Seasoned divers & snorkelers will find many full-service dive charter companies, several of which also offer training and certification for newbies. Eco tours and fishing charters are also available. The Ocean Quest Dive Center (800-356-8798) will even arrange for your wedding—underwater!
Islamorada is also just a short jaunt from Key Largo, the Dive Capital of the World and home to the expansive and vibrant John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Christ of the Deep statue. The swim-through coral arches at Sombrero Reef, off Marathon to the south, are another must-see dive site and a good place to spot nurse sharks.
