My mother's maiden name is Gillooly. It's a wonderful thing to be connected to that verb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 We go to the Keys regularly. Put these restaraunts in your gps: Keys Fisheries Whale Harbor DO NOT eat at the Green Turtle Look up Bob's Bunz on line-great breakfast Islamorada Fish Company is like Scully's catch of the day If you go to Key West eat at the HogFish grill Pier House in Key West is a great Hotel All of these places are on line. John Pennekamp park has loads of snorkleing trips Dolphin Research Center for Dolphin Swims Robbies for Tarpon Feeding Alternate stay Hotel Stay: Limetree Bay on Duck Key Keys Shopping- Latitude 25 Party Boat Fishing: Marathon Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetriano Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 world famous tiki bar. And the islamora fish company- great food. Next to a sportsmans store with a gigantic sea water aquarium of native fish We went to the fish company last night. My family had a great time. They had a fire juggler there. Music was chill. They were feeding tarpon and other huge fish outside. To be honest, I'm not a fisherman, but that sportsman store was awesome, the aquarium really cool. Made me feel like I'm missing out on something good. I may have to learn that sport!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 First and only time in Islamorada was last year. Dib gave you the best tips. We did a bunch of those, but we also went fishing a couple of days. A bit north of there in Key Largo (I think) - just south of the John Pennekamp park the real "African Queen" boat is harbored. It's in an area where charter boats are moored. It's an interesting curiosity. I'd add the Hog's Breath as a place to go in Key West. There aren't a lot of beaches in the Keys. A nice spot a bit south of you is the Bahia Honda Key State Park. Enjoy the sun, and have a Happy Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
