Fishing
The Florida Keys are a premier destination for anglers from around the world—and for good reason. With abundant species and year-round warm weather, it’s the perfect place to cast a line and reel in adventure.
Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or trying it for the first time, we highly recommend spending at least one day on the water with an experienced local captain. They know the best spots, the seasonal patterns, and how to tailor the trip to your interests—whether you’re after backcountry snook or offshore big game.
Looking for the right guide? Just ask—we’re happy to connect you with trusted captains who will make your fishing trip unforgettable!
Eco Adventures
What truly sets the Florida Keys apart is its one-of-a-kind natural environment—a vibrant ecosystem unlike anywhere else in the world. From winding mangrove tunnels to vast stretches of protected wetlands, the great outdoors here invites exploration at every turn.
Paddle through quiet backwaters by kayak, discover hidden coves, or venture into the nearby Everglades for a scenic hike through wild, untouched landscapes. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or simply seeking peace in the open air, the Keys offer endless opportunities to connect with the beauty of the natural world.
Diving and Snorkeling
You cannot come to the Florida Keys without getting in the water. We have the biggest coral reef in North America. The reefs are spectacular, and you won’t believe the marine life! There are lots of dive/snorkel operators in the area that will gladly take you out to the reef. You’re also more than welcome to explore what lies under our own waters in the Florida Bay. It’s quite lively itself! Put on some snorkel gear and take look underneath our dock and beyond. You’ll likely see parrot fish, angel fish, snappers, and much more!
Attractions, Beaches & Museums
Escape to our bayfront boutique resort, where relaxation meets adventure in the heart of the Florida Keys. Enjoy peaceful days on our private beach, paddle the calm bay waters, or unwind under a shady tiki hut.
When you’re ready to explore, the Keys offer something for everyone—from scenic drives and pristine beaches to local museums, wildlife sanctuaries, and unique island attractions. Whether you’re here to kick back or dive in, Island Bay Resort is the perfect place to call home.
