RV Trip too the Keys

[joe7670]

In Key West, Good and not too pricey food can be had at Two Friends Patio Restaurant. I love their food and it's right off Duval.

On the way down if you take Card Sound Road instead of US1 you can hit up Alabama Jacks for some excellent conch fritters and other seafood and good prices as well. The entrance to card sound is just after Florida City on the left.

Havent been after having kids so cant help with kids fun stuff. Everglades is a posibility depending on their age. It's inexpensive and can see gators...

Fishing of the bridges in the keys is supposedly excellent, but must learn where and when and the tides ... Maybe a site online where you can get some help with when and where.

My coleague at work claims the best key lime pie anywhere is at Herbi's in Marathon. It's a dive. I haven't had their food but the key lime is quite good. I like Joe's Stone Crab's key lime pie better(In Miami).
Joe's is expensive, but excellent food if want to stop in Miami.
Obvisously plenty of latin and other good restaurants in Miami too.

HERBIES in MARATHON is probably closed right now as they are a seasonal restaurant. With your RV the keys will be a chore to navigate as many of the roads and streets are very narrow and parking is limited. Another option to consider is maybe rent a car while you're down there. I'm pretty sure MARATHON and ISLAMORADA both have a rental car place as I believe they both have an airport. The drive across TAMIAMI TRAIL(US 41) is very scenic and isolated, and takes you right through the glades and several pull offs. Be advised though it is a scenic road and tends to be bumpy. On your way down definately take card sound road as the last time I was there they were 4 laning US1 and it had some pretty heavy back-ups on it.

Try Craig's restuarant in Tavernier--good fish sandwich and conch fritters. Nothing fancy, nice local place. Snappers in Key largo is cool for atmosphere, you can feed the tarpon right off the deck. I agree with Ferm on Bahia Honda state park. Can't remember the names, but a couple cool places to check out in Islamorada--the "sport fishing capital of the world". You'll know them when you see them. Key West is a waste of time I think. Insane traffic, high prices, uber-liberal/queer/swinger/drug user mentality prevails with the occasional mid-life crisis who wishes he was Ernest Hemingway or Jimmy Buffett, instead of some loser cheating on his wife and kids.
