Long
ago, violet sea snails called Janthina colored the shores deep lavender.
When Spanish explorers discovered this strange sight, they named
the Islands islas moradas, or purple isles.
Located just 75 miles from Miami Airport and 80 miles
from Key West, Islamorada is the perfect spot for your home in the
Florida Keys. The average temperature is 80 degrees and 78 degrees
for the water. Sitting between the sparkling dear waters of Florida
Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is bestowed with a Coral Reef three
to five miles offshore that is filled with spectacular life! It is
this very reef that has contributed to the chronicling of some of
the most romantic history from pirates to shipwrecks to sunken Spanish
Galleons.
Known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World",
it has the largest fishing fleet per square mile anywhere in the
world. Fish for "big game" offshore, or use your finesse
for back country fishing or just bridge fish. Almost any month of
the year you can find a fishing tournament.
There are other ways to enjoy our pristine waters.
Take advantage of parasailing, wind surfing, kayaking, or a back
county ecotour.
You can just lay back and take advantage of the lush
tropical surroundings, or visit our artisan villages, shop boutiques
or mix a colorful sunset celebration with a range of dining tastes.
We are sure if you visit us at our office In Islamorada
at M.M. 82; we will find you the property you desire, be it a primary
residence, a second or vacation home.
