The string of subtropical islands stretching 125 miles west from Florida between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean are known as the Florida Keys.
Many people do not realize that the Keys are home to ten state parks. Each has something unique to offer and provides expansive scenery and wide-open spaces. It is easy to find some solitude in all the parks, and the outdoor recreational activities are plentiful.
Some of the best and most secluded beaches are found in Florida’s state parks. The state parks in the Keys are rich with fascinating Florida Keys history, underwater sea life, and coastal landscapes.
