The keys, Florida.

By Emile Samson

 

The Florida Keys are a coral cay archipelago located in the southern part of Florida. They form a big natural barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida, about 24 kilometers south of Miami, and finish at the northwest of Florida, about 145 kilometers from Cuba . These islands belong to the United States and are connected by bridges. They measure about 165 kilometers. Among the 1000 islands and 355.6 square kilometers, the main islands are Key Largo, Long Key, Big Pine Key and Key West. According to the latest statistics in the year 2000, the islands' population was of about 79 535 inhabitants and had a density of 223.66 people per square kilometer. On the islands there are mangroves, shellfish beaches and occasionally a few palm trees. There are  no natural beaches, only artificial. Each year, among the million Canadians visitors received by the Florida 285 000 choose to visit the Florida Keys. Finally, the Florida Keys have so many attractions and things to do and see. Just traveling down the Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys is an attraction in itself.
