Islamorada

Islamorada occupies a chain of low-lying islands in the Upper Florida Keys, between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay. The Village of Islands includes Upper Matecumbe and Lower Matecumbe keys, where the Overseas Highway follows a narrow island corridor south from mainland Florida. Fishing shapes local life, with marinas and charter boats serving both offshore waters and shallow flats. The Hurricane Monument on Upper Matecumbe commemorates those who died in the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, one of the strongest storms to strike the United States. On nearby Windley Key, Fossil Reef Geological State Park preserves exposed ancient coral reef and a former quarry associated with the Florida East Coast Railway.
