Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Schmitt

Islamorada
Long ago, violet sea snails called Janthina colored the shores deep lavender. When Spanish explorers discovered this strange sight, they named the Islands islas moradas, or purple isles.

Located just 75 miles from Miami Airport and 80 miles from Key West, Islamorada is the perfect spot for your home in the Florida Keys. The average temperature is 80 degrees and 78 degrees for the water. Sitting between the sparkling dear waters of Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is bestowed with a Coral Reef three to five miles offshore that is filled with spectacular life! It is this very reef that has contributed to the chronicling of some of the most romantic history from pirates to shipwrecks to sunken Spanish Galleons.

Known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World", it has the largest fishing fleet per square mile anywhere in the world. Fish for "big game" offshore, or use your finesse for back country fishing or just bridge fish. Almost any month of the year you can find a fishing tournament.There are other ways to enjoy our pristine waters. Take advantage of parasailing, wind surfing, kayaking, or a back county ecotour.You can just lay back and take advantage of the lush tropical surroundings, or visit our artisan villages, shop boutiques or mix a colorful sunset celebration with a range of dining tastes.

I am sure if you visit me at our office In Islamorada at M.M. 82; we will find you the property you desire, be it a primary residence, a second or vacation home.Islamorada and the Upper Keys Never cold here! Our average temp. is 80 degrees! "The Sport Fishing Capital of the World
