What is your favorite FL Key to stay on with elementary aged kids?

Anonymous
The choices are a bit overwhelming. I'm leaning towards Key West since that is where the action is.

Suggestions?

Beaches in Key West generally suck.

Marathon has a decent beach.

I really liked Key West but agree that it doesn't have good beaches. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

How is Key Largo?

We loved Key Largo. There is a state park where you can snorkle and take snorkeling boats. We rented a house on the water that had a pool and tons of toys- fishing gear, nets, paddling boards, kayaks......... We took a day trip to Key West. We went to one of the big hotels for the day and used their beach and rented other types of boats (Hilton or Hyatt??).

Plenty of restaurants and a nearby grocery store.

Once I took my daughter to Key West for a vacation, we stayed in a nice motel on the water, went out to check out the pool and were somewhat surprised to find lots of men sunbathing nude on the pool deck. So unless this is what you want your kids to see you might want to inquire when making a reservation if the lodging is frequented by a lot of nude people.

I think there are way better places in Florida with kids. I would check out Siesta Key, Lido Key, Ft Myers Beach or just stay in Miami.

Key West is an adult destination. The beaches are crap so all there is to do is eat, drink, and get naked.

I remember being an 11 year old going to Key West and being terribly disappointed because of the beaches. I loved Key Largo, but this was 1985 so I wouldn’t weigh my rec too seriously.

We've been everywhere in Florida but the Keys. Are y'all saying it's not worth the trip?
