ATTRACTIONS and DISTANCES :
Great for anglers and watersports enthusiasts - or just relaxing! Keen anglers will already be aware that the Florida Keys are the sport fishing capital of the world. Excellent fishing is available from the docks, beaches and bridges, as well as boat trips to suit all pockets. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing are simply a way of life for Keys residents. Visitors are able to hire equipment and join in. If you fancy something a little more relaxing there is sailing or casino cruises departing from Key Largo daily. One of our personal favourites, Dolphin Encounters, an interactive dolphin program, is next door to Kawama. There are also a number of fine Golf Courses within easy driving distance. Miami is one hour away with the Sea Aquarium (Sea World) and the Monkey Jungle. The Everglades National Park is also within one hour with the excitement of Alligator farms and air boat rides. Theatre Of The Sea is 15 miles away in Islamorada.
FINE DINING & OTHER IDEAS FOR A DAY OUT:
Alternate days out. Snorkelling aboard the Quicksilver Catamaran : A day by the beach with a Caribbean Flavour....lazing in the sun, listening or dancing to Soca and Reggae and drinking some cocktails. Perhaps you fancy hiring a small craft or a jet-ski to cool off: A fascinating educational tour...then we enjoyed enormously our visits to The Turtle Hospital : Robbies ~ 'Amazing,' 'breathtaking' and 'impressive' are words often heard from first-time visitors to the end of Robbies dock. What they're referring to is the school of 100+ giant tarpon that live here, a 'buck' buys a bucket of baitfish and bedlam ensues as Pelicans and Silver Kings compete for Lunch: Crane Point Hammock ~ This unique 63-acre site is home to the Museum of Natural History, Children's Museum, Adderley Town Historic Site, Marathon Wild Bird Center and an extensive nature trail system that leads through a dense tropical forest to a spectacular view of Florida Bay.

CLOSE TO NATURE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS:
The Florida Keys sitting at the end of the Everglades are full of magnificent and exciting wildlife including interesting birds such as Pelicans, Ibis, Egrets, Herons, Eagles and Ospreys. Kawama enjoys the position of being set on an unspoilt peninsular between the virgin habitat of a bird sanctuary to the south and the beautifully preserved John Pennekamp Marine Coral State Park to the north. Dolphins can often be seen from the shore and if you are very lucky you may glimpse the beautiful but endangered Manatee. A trip at dusk to see the miniature Key deer is also a must for animal lovers. For further details ask for our website address.
