Default Honeymoon in the keys

I thought you guys down south might be able to help me out. I will be getting married in the beginning of october and am looking for the dos and don'ts of the keys. We are also wondering what we must see while we are down there. We aren't loaded but I think we wil be getting a few bucks toward the honeymoon. Plan is to drive from Miami possibly drive straight to key west. We were planning on staying there the whole time unless we found something that caught our eye on the ride down. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Adam

OK, Adam as long as you are marrying Eve and not another Adam..
If you are with Eve, the middle Keys are a great place to kick back and
relax.. If it is Adam, Key West all the way.. You will have lots of company!

The best places to eat and stay IMO are the middle keys and Islamorada!

As a matter of fact get with YeA 20sf, he just became the manager at
the Sands in Islamorada...

Hopefully you will bring your boat! Your buds will be able to tie the cans
to the trailer.

Key West makes a great day trip.

It all depends if you want adventure or laid back..

Congratulations on your up coming marriage!

Go to Morada Bay (Islamorada) you'll get some brownie points

I think Finny has footage of Bones enjoying Key Deer on Big Pine Key.

Something about Welly Boots and the end of a dock.

I think the Pooh Bahhh hat has gone to his head.

Key Deer only live on Big Pine. Go early or late. Pretty neat.

Cheers,
GFS

Thanks guys keep them coming. I'm from cape cod and up here we say Adam and Steve. But she is definitely an eve. We heard about the Waldorf in key west it was on groupon. She is a coupon queen. That was the plan we also heard cheeca in I believe islamorada was nice ill have to check out the sands as well I'll shoot him a pm. Nothing set in stone as of yet. Thanks again Adam
I would do anything to get the boat down there but the cost would be prohibitive.

No_Bones is correct, KW is a great day trip...maybe an overnighter. On the way down you have to hit the No Name Pub in Big Pine, besides the cool place it is, the pizza is outa this world! Then take and draw a circle from the Sands of islamorada in a 10 mile radius and that's where you need to stay and enjoy the Keys. Jorge is correct about Morada Bay, especially the full moon party, next one is scheduled for Aug. 31st. Good luck!

Lazy Days next to Bud and Mary's Marina has a great fish sandwich and a great view.

I've been to the No Name place and ordered the fried grouper and it sucked the pizza was good

Ok, Good deal Adam....
In today's times you have to be politically correct and
make everybody happy..

If you are on a budget the Cheeca Lodge is $$$$ per night.
Although a really nice place.

The Ragged Edge Resort has a honeymoon suite that is
very clean, safe and secure.. They are great people! (MM 86.5)

You have the artist village on US-1 about MM 85
World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada is a good stop..

Mangrove Mike's is a good breakfast and lunch place.

The Old Tavenier is a great restaurant, but the hostess is a bit$#

Snappers Restaurant next to 65bowrider house is also a good place
They have 4 rooms above the restaurant, The boom boom room would be good for you! MM 96.5

I have not been to Marker 88 in quite sometime but was
real good in the past. The chef from Marker 88 runs
the Lazy Daze next to The Hampton and Bud & Mary's

Robbie's, to feed the Tarpon is a hoot!! MM 77

Looe Key is a must at the Pennekamp State Park MM 102.5

Key West at most is an overnighter...
Sunset at Mallory Square to watch the freak show!!
Cookie Lady, sword swallower, tight rope walker, etc. etc.
Watch out for pick pockets!!
The usual Duval Street up and down..
Kino's Sandal shop, Eve would enjoy..

Just have fun!!
