      Synopsis

      From Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas, this true insider’s guide to Florida’s subtropical islands, offers a comprehensive look at famous attractions such as daily sunset celebrations, historic bars, renowned restaurants, and America’s only living coral reef. Supplemented with information about local hidden gems, it offers tips about secret gardens, hip diners, and beachfront bistros. The swashbuckling history of the Keys and some of its most famous inhabitants are brought to life with charming text—from Jimmy Buffett to the ever-present ghosts of Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams.

      Made our vacation nearly perfectby Sun_Lover

      July 23, 2009: We bought this book in the early stages of planning a weekend trip to Key West. It was sheer luck that we chose this book, and now we can't imagine our first visit without it.

      I am impressed with the book's balance of suggestions for traditional tourist destinations and quirky attractions. (I would have never thought to visit the Key West cemetery without her guidance.) Best of all were the dining suggestions. Louie's Backyard, Banana Cafe, Camille's and Mangoes were wonderful. At the top of the list was Blue Heaven! My memory of Blue Heaven's gumbo soup and yellowtail snapper will linger with me always.

      June Keith's book made our Key West vacation nearly perfect. I will recommend it to anyone planning to go to the Keys.

      April 06, 2009: Being a regular visiter to Key West, and having used other travel guides, June Keith's Key West and the Florida Keys felt unorganized and vague. If you are trying to decide if the Key's feel like a better destination than, say, Sanibel Island, this book may inspire you. If you're trying to pin down a guesthouse to stay in or a place to have dinner, this guide will leave you frustrated. Although, she does tell some interesting 'behind the scenes' tales, so you might pick up a copy to supplement the Insiders Guide to Key West and the Florida Keys.

      I Also Recommend: Insiders' Guide to the Florida Keys and Key West, 13th, Key West.
