Islamorada: The Sport-Fishing Capital of the World
The
Islamorada Village of Islands encompasses several of the Keys that make
up the Florida Keys, including Plantation, Windley, Upper Matecumbe and
Lower Matecumbe. The Florida Keys is an archipelago, known worldwide for
temperate climate, beautiful beaches and excellent fishing.
Islamorada, specifically, is referred to as the sport fishing capital of the world. Home to some of the most sought-after game fish, sport-fishers can fish for sailfish, tuna, tarpon, bonefish and more. The Village of Islands is a great family vacation destination with its spectacular views, warm climate, and every water sport under the sun - diving, snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, wind surfing and boat racing.
Although the number of permanent residents is small - just 6,722 - Islamorada has an estimated 20,000 annual visitors that seek the recreational and sport fishing opportunities that can best be found at Watermark Marinas!
