Although the beaches on the Keys are few and small -- the one at Bahia Honda State Park is the major exception -- the islands have a Caribbean feel. Their underwater reefs offer excellent snorkeling and, along with shipwrecks, great diving opportunities. Best of all, they have retained some of the flavor of old Florida. Some areas are as I imagine they must have been in the 1940s. Others must appear much as they did when Ponce de Leon sailed by, carrying home treasures from the New World.
