The Florida Keys is a chain of islands that is surrounded by the Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.  Being able to traverse from one side to the other is a great feature of living in the Florida Keys.  Tavernier Creek is one of many cut throughs.  If you are considering buying a home in the Florida Keys, this is something you want to pay attention too.  Islamorada is a chain of 4 islands - Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key and Lower Matecumbe Key.  It stretches from mile marker 90 to mile marker 74.  Tavernier Creek is located at the North end of Plantation Key, at mile marker 90.   There is a bridge that will limit the height of a boat.  If you have a vessel of great height, such as an offshore fishing boat or a sailboat, Snake Creek can accommodate with its draw bridge.  If you are buying a home in Tavernier or buying a home in Islamorada, take a look at this waterway.  There are many intricacies to know in the Florida Keys.  Give me a call and I can help you navigate through the home buying or home selling process.  

Founder's Park in Islamorada, Florida Keys held another community event.  Island Fest, an annual Islamorada Chamber of Commerce event, is held in April.  The road parallel to the beach was lined with talented artists selling their masterpieces.   Local musicians filled the air with tunes for every age.  A sand castle was built by a professional and then the children were invited to sculpt their own creations! Lets not forget the tasty treats that the Chefs created from the local restaurants.  The Taste of Islamorada was held on Sunday - mouth watering, appetizer size portions were the talk of the town.  It is astonishing the number of events hosted by these island chains. You can find yourself having a new experience almost every weekend throughout the Florida Keys.
