Florida Keys Hurricane Memorial World's best fishing
Islamorada, which means "The Purple Isles" in Spanish, was named by early Spanish explorers. The Islamorada area consists primarily of, from north to south, Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, and Lower Matecumbe Key. Islamorada is mainly known for its world-class sport fishing, but also offers great scuba diving and other water sports.
In this section, we cover the major attractions. The Tourist Development Council offers a very good calendar of events covering all the Keys.
 Theater of the Sea (MM 84.5) is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Children can enjoy close-up encounters with a dolphin, a sea lion, and other aquatic animals. The animal trainers are very friendly, take time to interact with kids, and gladly stop for photos.
