Stock Island ‘s buzz is growing. Separated from Key West by the narrow Cow Key Channel, this off-the-beaten-path island is not just an extension of its famous neighbor to the south but also a destination.

Just 90 minutes south of Miami, Islamorada is the ‘key’ to a perfect getaway! The Florida Keys are made up of 1,700 islands, though only 42 are connected by bridges; six of which comprise the village of Islamorada.

If you’re a dog owner, there’s no doubt you consider your furry companion part of the family. But when it comes to taking a trip, he/she can make things a little tricky. Fear not! Here are our top pet-friendly vacations across America where your pooch pals are just as welcome as you are.

The Florida Keys have officially been back in business to visitors since Oct. 1, 2017, just three weeks after Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Lower Keys. While the beloved island chain took a direct hit from the Category 4 hurricane and areas, especially in the Lower Keys and Islamorada, are still rebuilding, the Keys have largely rebounded and are as dreamy a destination as ever.

Key West’s history may be steeped in spirits; Prohibition’s rumrunners put some of the first speakeasies on the map here. And Duvall Street’s iconic bars, Sloppy Joe’s and Captain Tony’s, have made downtown legendary for partying.

Water, water everywhere. What else would you expect as you travel along an island chain that stretches for 125 miles?

The Southern summer humidity is no joke, and we found ourselves wanting to be in the water instead of on land the entire time we were in the Keys last month. Luckily, the Florida Keys has no shortage of water sports, so keeping wet with these fun activities was a no-brainer.
