One of the most unique beach bars in the Florida Keys is Rum Runners in Islamorada. Located at the Postcard Inn at Holiday Isle, the multi-level bar with multiple perches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean has been a longtime favorite of locals and visitors alike, even taking a prominent role in the Zac Brown Band’s hit single, “Jump Right In.” The status of Rum Runners, though, has been brought into question as various sites and comments...

The Sunset Grille and Raw Bar is a beach bar located at the east end of Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon in the Florida Keys. During our road trip through the Keys last fall, we had the opportunity to stop by for a few drinks on our way home. Unfortunately, it wasn’t at sunset and no one in our party felt any particular need to wait countless hours for the sun to pull its disappearing act. I can’t blame them – long hours on the road and...

Even though you might be tempted to keep driving to your destination, make the turn into the parking lot and take 15 minutes to explore a chocolate paradise Willy Wonka would be proud of. Bob and Kristie Thomas, the...
2013 in Review – Florida Trips

I was lucky enough to be able to visit Florida twice this year. In the spring, we went to Siesta Key for a week and in the fall, decided to switch coasts and visited the Ft. Lauderdale area and Upper Keys for 11 days. I can see why the beaches of Siesta Key were recently named the best in America – they go on forever, they’re deep and the sand is white and as soft as powder. Throw in amazing sunsets every evening and a...
