Places to eat & drink in Islamorada, Florida Keys
After a big day of adventuring and snorkeling in Islamorada, you will have worked up an appetite. Here are my favorite places to grab a bite at any time of day.
Morada Bay: This was my favorite dining experience on Islamorada. Open-air option for Caribbean-style American eats, with tables right on the beach. Nice place to watch the sun set.
Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar: Offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Would be perfect for a sunset dinner as they have seating right on the beach. It's also a nice place to go for breakfast.
