From the highway, Key Largo looks like a cross between a truck stop and a strip mall. The bays and beautiful beaches are all hidden from view. We stopped here for the night and found a beautiful motel tucked away from the road behind a screen of palm trees and vegetation. While the pictures fail to capture the beauty of the place, this was truly one of the nicest spots we visited. We were able to sit out on the dock in the evening under the moonlight and stars, listening as the manatees breached the surface coming up for air. The next day we went out in a paddle boat but didn't spot the mammals. We saw loads of fish though.
Here is a close-up of our tiki hut. These things are everywhere.
We went for a late night swim in the hotel pool. I must admit that the palm trees looked very atmospheric and noire-ish in the moonlight.
