Once you leave civilization at Florida City, Key largo is the first town and first island you come to as you travel down US 1 -- across a dozen plus miles of beautiful and still totally pristine Everglades country, then along a narrow strip of mangrove splitting Barnes Sound from Blackwater Sound and Florida Bay, now across the old swing bridge at Jewfish Creek, finally over Lake Surprise.
And there it is: Key Largo, the stuff of myth, located some 55 miles
and about an hour south of Miami International Airport and just 24 miles
south of Homestead. You are now on a different planet.Since 1948, when
it was the setting for the movie, "Key Largo," starring Humphrey
Bogart, Edward G. Robinson and Lauren Bacall, the name Key Largo has
become world famous. In fact, Key Largo is one of the oldest place names
on early maps of the North American continent, dating back to the sixteenth
century when the Spanish explored the area looking for riches to take
back to Spain. Today it is Miami’s Cape Cod -- and for the rest of us
it is the Gateway to the American Caribbean.The climate is subtropical
and foliage is lush. Temperatures have only a few degrees day-night fluctuation,
compared with much of the rest of Florida. There’s a steady sea breeze,
