We got off the cruise it was pouring so we skipped the Everglades. The rain stopped once we got to the . We stayed in a hotel for a few days. I will be returning in the future when I have my van. I do have seasonal allergies and I did not have a problem there before. I always carry allergy medication with me when I travel. I’m glad you called out the rude drivers!!! Thank you.

    @Miami7 Рік тому +6

    The smell... the Keys are a string of small islands with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other side. Sargassum is a type of algae/seaweed that is vital to the marine ecology. Unfortunately, like everything else it blooms and dies. In the Keys it is carried in by the currents and ends up on the beaches, mangroves, and rocks especially in June and July. The smell can be brutal but it is one of those awful smells that the people just get used to. It can be overpowering for tourists. They do clean up the beaches nightly during this time, and I have even seen them out there with snow plow type vehicles working to get rid of it. (The good news is that some have come up with a way to recycle and incorporate it into building materials.) This year, 2023, the greatest sargassum die-off ever is out there in the Atlantic, covering an approximately 5,000 square mile area. And now it's washing up on Florida beaches, so before going down to the Keys you might want to check that part out. It's about 110 miles from Key Largo to Key West, so the best way to do the drive is to take it easy, take in the sights, and plan on a couple of hours to get there. My go to app for traffic timing and getting around is definitely Waze.

    We just went down to Key Largo. We took a trip down from West Palm Beach. Got a hotel room in Key Largo. We just wanted to see the sandy beaches and enjoy the sunsets. The song starts with the best of if not the best, there's no sandy beaches? There is no sandy beaches in the keys. We talked with a park official, that just closed. The keys are built on ancient Coral Rock. There is no sandy beaches. Nobody wants to discuss that. I think this is something that needs to be brought up. On one of the so-called sandy beaches that are advertised. I literally walked out. And looked back at my friend. And said. Be careful. This is sharp! I cannot believe on the deceptiveness of this. That the keys are able to advertise themselves. With sandy beaches. There is not a Sandy Beach over there. And if it is as fan-made. Maybe you have some Island that has sand on it. For the ninety-eight percent of the keys. There's no sandy beaches.
    You might as well prepare for a trip to the emergency room. You'll steal the lacerations on your feet from this ancient Coral Rock. It's going to hurt.
    You throw some kids into that mixture.
    It's not going to be a good day.

      The Upper Keys are very different from the lower Keys. There are several beaches in the keys. Key West has Smathers, Higgs, and Ft Zack and a couple other small beaches hidden around the island like Simonton, or Dog beach.. Bahia Honda near marathon is amazing. One of the even more fun things to do is, take a boat excursion out to "The Sand Bar" or Marvin Key.

    Most of the stench is the seaweed that the city ordinances say can’t be cleaned up

      The entire Caribbean basin, south Florida and the Keys are plagued with huge seaweed mats that wash ashore and rot. The tiny animals that live in the seaweed die when beached and create the “dead” smell. It is not true that city ordinances prohibit the cleanup of seaweed. That is totally false. Key West and the other island municipalities spend a fortune cleaning it up from the beaches. The seaweed mats are a relatively new problem, and are a result of climate change (warming oceans) and pollution (most probably from untreated sewage in South America, primarily Brazil). The currents bring the nutrients that result in the explosive growth of the seaweed via the Gulf Stream as it travels by the Keys and creates the problem.

      Northern Florida*, when you’re towing a 40’ 5th wheel behind you, you don’t drive fast. We were also driving through a storm on the way down, which made everyone drive slower. Once the sun sets the speed on Key West goes down 10 MPH then what’s posted. Plus stopped a couple times for fuel & etc.. it’s a beautiful drive. Oh & on Key West when you’re on the bridge it’s a one lane each way road.

      Thank you for taking the time to watch our first time in the Keys, we stayed in Key West. This was more of our first time experience in the Keys and this video is well over 2 years old. So we shared what we experienced since not everyone has been to the Keys. We've been back to the Keys several times since this video was published (over 2 years ago) and it is one of our favorite places, the other favorite place is Alaska. We stay at Sigsbee, the Navy base in our RV. We travel all over the US and internationally. When we were talking about vehicles being blown over we talking more about RV's, 5th wheels, etc.... things you tow that are tall as our 5th wheel is over 13' tall, an RV owner you would know this, if their RV is tall and long, it's a safety precaution, not saying to stay away. We have other Keys videos of the different adventures we went on, including flying into Dry Tortugas in a seaplane, that was a blast. Once again, thank you for watching our Keys video from over 2 years ago and have a wonderful day.
