If You Have 3 Days

Day 1

Don't push your luck. You can fly and then dive; but if you dive, you can't fly for 24 hours, so spend your first morning diving or snorkeling at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo. If you aren't certified, take a resort course, and you'll be exploring the reefs by afternoon. Dinner or cocktails at a bayside restaurant or bar will give you your first look at a fabulous Keys sunset. 

Day 2

On Day 2 get an early start to savor the breathtaking views on the two-hour drive to Key West. Along the way make stops at the natural-history museum that's part of the Museums and Nature Center of Crane Point Hammock, in Marathon, and Bahia Honda State Park, on Bahia Honda Key; stretch your legs on a forest trail or snorkel on an offshore reef. Once in Key West, watch the sunset before dining at one of the island's first-class restaurants. 

Day 3

Spend the next morning exploring beaches, visiting any of the myriad museums, or taking a walking or trolley tour of Old Town before driving back to the mainland.
