KEY WEST – The Florida Keys have always been a favourite for me. I’ve always driven down from Miami in the past and enjoyed watching the colour of the water change and checking out the odd tiki bar along the way for a beer and a blackened fish sandwich.

I’ve also found more than a few places that I think deserve more attention than they get. Here’s a look at some of them.
