Florida Keys
Hospitality Industry
Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Florida Keys area.
As you drive south from Miami towards Key West, the southernmost point of the country, along the 120 mile stretch of U.S. 1
which links the keys together with the mainland of Florida, you will have the sense that you are traveling away from the
world of ordinary air and light, and into a zone of absolute peace punctuated occasionally by brief, dramatic celestial
displays of tropical intensity which serve more to tease paradise than to interfere with it. The appearance of pelicans
loitering on the posts near fishing boats, and the fresh smell of the sea, signal that you have left the Atlantic Ocean
and entered the Gulf of Mexico. This is the land of bathing suits and sandals, and outdoor lounges with grass roofs, as
well as untouched wilderness, camping grounds, exceptional resorts, secret fishing holes and warm water that will melt any
tension you brought with you instantly. When you get to Key West, you will experience the ambiance that captured
Hemingway's devotion, and enjoy the most casual walking, shopping and dining you have ever experienced, but you always will
remember that the best part of your trip to Key West was the trip, and that there is still a lifetime of wonder left to
experience in the Florida Keys.
