This Is the Florida Keys Most People Never See

We’re back at Sugarloaf Marina to explore the Florida Keys with a local friend — and it turned into one of our favorite adventures yet. We take out the Whalley boat to reach an area where no other boats are allowed, air up the paddle boards, and explore untouched mangroves that feel completely wild. On our way back, a school of dolphins swims alongside the boat, putting on an unforgettable show. The next day, we head back out for some mangrove snapper fishing — and after catching a mess of fish, we motor over to Marvin Key to cook our catch on the water. While Kellie’s cooking, a lemon shark decides to check us out up close. The fish turned out incredible — and there’s no better dining room than the Florida Keys.
