South of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park,
the people of Rock Harbor recognized a good thing when they saw
one and changed the name of their community to KEY LARGO
after the success of the 1948 film in which Humphrey Bogart and
Lauren Bacall grappled with Florida's best-known features - crime
and hurricanes. The movie's title suggested somewhere exotic,
but the film, though set here, was almost entirely shot in Hollywood.
Nonetheless, Key Largo, and its neighbor TAVERNIER
, ten miles further on, make nice enough stops on the Upper Keys.
You can almost feel urban stresses and strains slip away as you
take in the turquoise sea and waving palms.
The Florida Keys visitor center
, MM106 (daily 9am-6pm; tel 305/451-9949 or 1-800/822-1088, ),
