In actuality, there are many private campgrounds and 10 state parks that are composed of hundreds of acres and many of them have full facility campsites. http://info5000.com/FLORIDA-KEYS/consider-camping-in-the-florida-keys.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Fri, 3 Jul 2009 16:55:46 PDT It only makes sense. The Florida Keys is a series of over 1700 islands. Therefore, it only makes sense that the variety of water sports offered in the Florida Keys would be tremendous. In some places the islands are only a mile wide that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Atlantic Ocean. This convenient division allows vendors to offer a wide variety of different water sport activities, which are perfectly suited for either environment. http://info5000.com/FLORIDA-KEYS/the-florida-keys-offer-many-water-sports-activities.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Fri, 3 Jul 2009 16:55:46 PDT There must be a reason that so many books and movies are set in Key Largo - in fact, there is even a song about the island!
