Measuring about 50km long, Key Largo is the largest island of the keys, and the name originates from the Spanish Cayo Largo - Long Key. This island is a great place to appreciate nature, with the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Everglades National Park and the Dolphins lagoon nearby. Located about 112km from where we first touched down in South Beach Miami, we stopped for three nights in this island on our journey to Key West.
