One of the largest towns in the Keys, Islamorada is located just south of Key Largo and is 18 miles long and less than one mile wide. It is made up of four main islands: Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, and Lower Matecumbe Key.
Islamorada is also known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World" because for more than 100 years “real” anglers have known about the huge variety of game fish that call the local waters home. With fishing in the backcountry, on the reef and offshore, the most world
fishing records have been set in Islamorada. As a result, the Village supports the largest concentration of charter fishing boats in the entire Florida Keys (ca. 400 offshore captains and 150 backcountry guides). Islamorada fishing fans—past and present--include Presidents Bush, Carter, Truman and Hoover, Zane Grey, Ted Williams, and Lou Gehrig.
