New Florida Keys Website Section Connects Visitors to ‘Great Walks’

Visitors to the Florida Keys, the 125-mile-long island chain at the southernmost tip of the Florida peninsula, can now discover several unique walking adventures via a new website section on fla-keys.com, the Keys’ official visitor website. 

The “Great Walks of the Florida Keys” section guides visitors on leisurely walks through Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park and the Snake Bight and other Everglades National Park trails in the Upper Keys; along Islamorada’s Old Highway; through uniquely scenic and historic Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park in Islamorada and Bahia Honda State Park in the Lower Keys; through Crane Point Hammock Museum & Nature Trails and across the Old Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon; around Key West’s Smathers and Higgs beaches past the Edward B. Knight Pier; and along the island city’s Whitehead Street, known for its literary, artistic and maritime attractions.

The “Great Walks” website section was created by the Florida Keys tourism council and can be accessed at fla-keys.com/great-walks/. 

It provides guidance and tips such as each walk’s difficulty level, need-to-know information about admission to attractions along the way, and suggestions about nearby lodging establishments and dining venues.

Suggested planning times for the walks range from a half to a full day.
