Being surrounded by water means one thing: fresh seafood is always on the menu. Many local restaurants serve daily catches like mahi-mahi, grouper, and shrimp, often simply prepared to highlight their natural flavors. Expect open-air seating, salty breezes, and plates that feel authentically tied to the Keys.

Spots throughout Key Largo offer everything from fish sandwiches to conch fritters, making it easy to enjoy a satisfying, no-frills meal after a day on the water. We recommend local favorites like The Fish House and Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen.

One of the area’s most treasured destinations is John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. As the first underwater park in the United States, it protects miles of coral reefs and marine habitats. Visitors can snorkel or dive among tropical fish, coral formations, and even the famous Christ of the Abyss statue. Glass-bottom boat tours provide another way to experience the underwater world without getting wet. It is a must-visit for anyone who wants to see the vibrant ecosystem that makes the Keys so special.

There is something special about early light in the Florida Keys. The sky gradually brightens, casting a warm glow across palm trees and quiet streets. The peaceful atmosphere makes it easy to savor a cup of coffee and ease into the day. Without the crowds or rush, the island feels personal and unhurried. Spring mornings invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment before the day fully unfolds.

Slow travel in Key Largo begins the moment you arrive and allows you to let go of strict schedules. The Upper Keys are known for their calm energy, scenic views, and relaxed lifestyle, which encourage travelers to move at their own pace. Taking time to enjoy simple moments like morning coffee on your balcony or a quiet walk along the water helps set the tone. Instead of rushing from one activity to the next, focus on being present and enjoying where you are. This mindset creates a deeper connection to the destination and to yourself.

Arrive at Ocean Pointe Suites and settle into your suite before stepping out onto your private balcony to take in the views. Unpack, unwind, and let the pace of the Keys set the tone for the weekend. For dinner, keep things easy and intimate with a meal at the onsite Island Grill, where you can enjoy fresh flavors without leaving the property. After dinner, head to the Mermaid Bar for a nightcap and a toast to the weekend ahead, then take a peaceful walk along the private beach under the stars.

The calm waters of the Upper Keys make staying active fun and effortless. Rent a kayak or paddleboard just steps from your suite and glide along the water. Try snorkeling or diving nearby to explore the vibrant coral reefs. Even a morning swim in the junior Olympic-sized pool counts toward your fitness goals. Being active here feels like an adventure rather than exercise.

Guests can enjoy personal touches and décor that reflect the character of the Keys in ech suite. One and Two-bedroom suites provide ample space for families or groups. In-unit washers and dryers make longer stays effortless. Every suite is designed to feel like a home away from home.

Molasses Reef is one of the most iconic dive sites in the Florida Keys, renowned for its towering coral formations and vibrant schools of tropical fish. Divers often spot sea turtles gliding gracefully through the water and rays drifting over the sandy bottom. The reef’s clear visibility makes it an ideal spot for both new and experienced divers. It’s a magical world beneath the surface and a must-do for anyone craving underwater adventure.

If you’re driving to the Keys, consider a hybrid or electric vehicle for the scenic trip down the Overseas Highway. Once you arrive, biking or walking can be a fun way to explore island neighborhoods and local attractions while enjoying the warm, breezy weather.

Topping the list is Island Grill, located conveniently onsite at Ocean Pointe Suites. This gem captures the very essence of Key Largo’s waterfront dining. Picture yourself seated under swaying palms, sipping a tropical cocktail, as the sun dips below the horizon. Island Grill offers a menu bursting with fresh flavors. They offer a diverse menu of starters, poke bowls, salads, pizza, handhelds, tacos, and desserts, catering to a wide range of tastes. Whether you’re craving a casual lunch, a romantic dinner by the sunset, or a refreshing brunch, the restaurant’s warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind. Guests often rave about the impeccable service and the ease of stepping straight out of their suite into a dining paradise. They even offer Happy Hour daily from 4-7 PM.
