Best Places to Stay in the Lower Keys

The Lower Keys are a different kind of paradise, mostly attracting nature lovers, star gazers, fishermen, divers, and those who failed to get a last-minute room in Key West. They stretch from mile marker 5 to 40, and although they’re quiet (some say desolate) compared to their neighboring Keys, this is where you’ll find Bahia Honda State Park, Looe Key Marine Sanctuary, and two national wildlife refugees.

Here are the best hotels to stay at to get in on all the action, or rather the serenity, of the Lower Keys.
