Located in the Florida Keys, Islamorada is a chain of three small island keys between Key Largo and Marathon. Known locally as the Islamorada Village of Islands, this collection of island paradises is nicknamed the sport fishing capital of the world and for good reason. Guarded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Florida Bay to the west, water activities abound. From sport fishing, sailing and wind surfing to snorkeling, diving and basking in the sun along sand swept coastal beaches, the beauty of the crystal-blue waters truly define Islamorada.
Not to be overshadowed by Islamorada natural beauty is the local housing market that offers attractive properties in a majestic setting. Real estate options in Islamorada Village of Islands consist of condominiums, townhouses, single-family homes, and land for custom building.
While many view the Keys as a tourist destination, those living here year-round enjoy an active social lifestyle filled with golf, tennis, shopping, dining, theatre and live music. The local events calendar includes many fun and entertaining activities, and thanks to more than 300 days of sunshine per year, there always seems to be something exciting taking place. There are many fishing and angling tournaments annually, in addition to other themed events such as the Taste of Islamorada, Florida Keys Holiday Festival and the Holiday Boat Parade. Additionally, local attractions such as Theater of the Sea, World Wide Sportsman, the many state recreational facilities and geological preserves, and museums and art galleries make spending the days in Islamorada as rewarding as a cool summer breeze.
