]]> Off the southern tip of Florida, you can find a string of tropical islands known as the Florida Keys. What these islands lack in size, they make up for in beauty! The crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches are what vacation dreams are made of. If you’re looking for a tropical vacation that you don’t need a passport for, the Florida Keys is the perfect choice. Here are just some of the best and most beautiful beaches that the Florida Keys have to offer.

Sandspur Beach

Located in Bahia Honda State Park, Sandspur Beach is well-known as one of the prettiest beaches in the Florida Keys. Fans of this beach were heartbroken when it was closed after a hurricane in 2017. After patiently waiting for five years, Sandspur Beach was officially reopened in May 2022! 

Dry Tortugas National Park

We highly recommend you visit this national park that’s only accessible by boat or seaplane. It is so uniquely stunning, with protected reefs and historical remains. This is a place you don’t want to miss.

Sombrero Beach

Sombrero Beach is another fan favorite and we understand why! With perfectly white sand and sparkling clear waters, this beach only gets better with the renovations. Newly handicap accessible, this beach also has picnic pavilions, volleyball courts, and so much more.

]]> Are you planning a trip to Key West, Florida? It’s time to leave your car keys at home and forgo the rental car when you arrive! Key West is best explored by other modes of transportation. Whether it’s sailing through the clear ocean by boat or soaring 275-feet in the air by parasail, there’s so much beauty that can be taken in from every angle. Here are some of the best ways to explore Key West.

By Trolley

The Old Town Trolley is a brilliant way to get to know the land while also learning unique and fun facts about the history of Key West. With the possibility to just hop on and off at any stop of your choice, the trolley allows you to cover all of the island’s best sights at your own pace.

By Parasail

Parasailing offers the most unique vantage point of the island and the surrounding ocean. You’ll be able to see the layout of the island and the main sightseeing spots from a bird’s eye view 275-feet in the sky.

By Boat

Key West is situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, which makes boat rentals an extremely unique way to experience Key West. Enjoy a day full of activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and more. Whichever activities you choose, you’ll be in for an unforgettable and incredible day.

]]> Florida might be world-famous for its theme parks, exciting cities, and vibrant Latin-infused culture, but did you know that this state also has all kinds of natural paradises as well?

In addition to its frequently-visited beaches, Florida is also home to various natural areas that you might be surprised by.

Here are three natural treasures that you must check out if you have a trip planned to Florida.

Everglades National Park

One of the places you must visit in Florida to see nature at its finest is Everglades National Park. Boasting a tropical swamp ecosystem that is unique in the world, visitors to this park often see native species such as alligators and great blue herons.

The Florida Keys

The Keys are a barrier island chain that extends into the sea from the southern tip of Florida. It’s full of natural wonders, especially the colorful and striking coral reef that you can discover while snorkeling there (the only one in the US). Don’t skip its untouched, virgin white sand beaches, either.

The very first step to achieving conservation is education, so here it goes: This coral is known as an Elkhorn coral, scientific name Acropora palmata. These corals are prominent in warmer, Caribbean type waters. However, due to a disease called white-band disease, which killed off 95% of this species, they have become critically endangered. These corals contract white band disease due to climate change and increased ocean temperatures causing them physiological stress, which weakens their immune system, therefore making them more susceptible to life threatening diseases. I had the rare opportunity to observe this coral up close and personal and can say with my entire heart that we as humans must do everything we can to protect our beautiful oceans. Any small gesture will go a long way. I won’t post all of the things you can do to help conserve our planet and I know everyone on social media seems to be talking about this at the moment, but I urge you to do some research on some small steps that could help in any way. 💙

Apalachicola National Forest

Further north in the state of Florida is Apalachicola National Forest, a protected nature reserve that hosts one of the largest southern pine forests in existence. Here, you can see all kinds of native fauna as well as wetland ecosystems and curious landscapes.
