My family is looking to vacation in the keys for the week between Christmas and New Years. Any suggestions on where to stay where I can get some good open water swimming in (2-3 miles per day) within walking distance of our house/hotel? We have two children, so we need a place that will be okay for kids.
Islamorada is a great area...mile marker 80 or so. Good restaurants and places to stay. Hotels: Chica Lodge, The Moorings, Turtle Inn, La Siesta, La Jolla Motel. If you want a lot more activity, then I suggest Key West...mile marker 0...lots a great B&Bs, loads of restaurants and bars, nightlife, water sports, etc.
