More about Islamorada Islamorada is also a destination point for divers because of the abundance of tropical marine life, the islands’ proximity to the largest living reef in the contiguous US, and the variety of underwater attractions including shipwrecks and artificial reefs. Recently, the Florida Keys were awarded the title of “America’s #1 Dive Destination.” Islamorada residents also swim, beachcomb, snorkel, golf, hike, bike and parasail as the mood strikes. Islamorada is home to four public beaches (some of the loveliest in the Keys), four state parks and one city park with an Olympic-size swimming and diving pool. During September and October, Heritage Days includes historic reenactments, a golf tournament, and the Indian Key Festival. Islamorada has plentiful restaurants, unique shops and other attractions, such as the “Theater of the Sea,” and the “Windley Key Fossil Reef State Geologic Park.” Several competitions are held in the area each year, from fishing tournaments to boat, jet-ski and windsurfing races.
