Been many, many years since I lived in S. Fla. and used to go fishing frequently in the Keys, as far south as Marathon. Anyone know if some of the restaurants we used to stop at on the way home are still there, and under the same names:

Green Turtle Inn in Key Largo; Harbor Island Seafood at the first bridge southbound entering Islamoroda; and a "shack", appropriatley named "The Shack" which was a small old building on the right side of US 1 southbound somewhere around Islamorada, where the owner was the chef, and had the day's menu written on a blackboard as you entered. He took your orders, prepared the freshly caught meals himself, then served them to you. Only about a half dozen tables, not very fancy, but the food was delicious!

Definately drive down there if you have the time, rather then fly. And enjoy the sights, small beaches along the way, super snorkling and fishing (if you've time for either) and some iconic old style (50's and 60's) sights along the way.
