Things to do in the Central Florida Keys

The Central Florida Keys are home to part of the only living coral reef in North America, the Sombrero Reef, just a few miles offshore Marathon. The scuba diving is absolutely sensational on the reef, with marine life absolutely thriving in almost perfect conditions.

The marine life is always close to the hearts and minds of those who live in the Central Florida Keys. Sailing, power boating and deep sea fishing excursions are highly popular and great fun.
