Known for: a superb state park and back-to-nature calm.

Don’t miss: Long Key State Park with its beachfront campsites and the Golden Orb canoe trail, world-class bonefishing flats, and the historic Long Key railroad site.

When to go: Nov-Apr for camping; book state-park sites well ahead.

Long Key was once home to Henry Flagler’s exclusive Long Key Fishing Camp, a favourite of author Zane Grey, until the 1935 hurricane destroyed it.
