About Islamorada in the Fl keys

Islamorada
Long ago, violet sea snails called Janthina colored the shores deep lavender. When Spanish explorers discovered this strange sight, they named the Islands islas moradas, or purple isles.

Located just 75 miles from Miami Airport and 80 miles from Key West, Islamorada is the perfect spot for your home in the Florida Keys. The average temperature is 80 degrees and 78 degrees for the water. Sitting between the sparkling dear waters of Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is bestowed with a Coral Reef three to five miles offshore that is filled with spectacular life! It is this very reef that has contributed to the chronicling of some of the most romantic history from pirates to shipwrecks to sunken Spanish Galleons.

Known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World", it has the largest fishing fleet per square mile anywhere in the world. Fish for "big game" offshore, or use your finesse for back country fishing or just bridge fish. Almost any month of the year you can find a fishing tournament.There are other ways to enjoy our pristine waters. Take advantage of parasailing, wind surfing, kayaking, or a back county ecotour.You can just lay back and take advantage of the lush tropical surroundings, or visit our artisan villages, shop boutiques or mix a colorful sunset celebration with a range of dining tastes.
I am sure if you visit me at our office In Islamorada at M.M. 82; we will find you the property you desire, be it a primary residence, a second or vacation home.Islamorada and the Upper Keys Never cold here! Our average temp. is 80 degrees! "The Sport Fishing Capital of the World!"

Someone once told me that the Keys are like Salt Spring, where I live, and I've always wanted to visit.

Hey Solveig, and Welcome to the Rain!


Kevin Sandridge, here.  I joined the Active Rain community not too long ago myself and wanted to drop a line to share some of the good vibes and welcome wishes I have received already.




A Bit About Active Rain


I'm very excited about this community - basically because folks seem so willing to help out, provide industry insight, and share their good news and experiences!


When I started out on Active Rain, I felt a little overwhelmed.  I hope the following points and suggested sites will help bring you into the mix!  Just my way of saying that I'm glad you're here.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


One:  Be sure to include a good amount of information on your profile page.  Check out the profiles on other Realtor's sites here on Active Rain who are listed as "Featured" or "Tops" in their area (look for high point totals).  You'll find that this will seriously boost your presence on ActiveRain - via the added points. 


Two: I urge you to keep blogging on this site!  You will be AMAZED at the awesome feedback you receive very soon after they hit the network!  I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs that provide me with ideas about what I'd like to comment on - both industry wise and just for fun!  Check it out I am more than willing to step you through the site and to help you get a few more blog posts generated if you wish - as a way of adding some value and paying forward some good networking vibes!  :)


Three: Be sure to add in a good number of posts about what you think and consider pertinent regarding your area of expertise!  You'll notice that many if not all of the Featured posting bloggers here on AR do this.


Lastly, I do quite a lot of work via social networks, email campaigns, and relationship building.  If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.


Here are a few great sites to visit (some of my favorites).  If you like the information they provide, be sure to let them know I sent you!



Looking forward to what you'll share with us here on Active Rain!  :)

Blessings,

That is really cool how it got its name. Can you still find the snails? If you can, would love to see the picture of the water, I can only imagine how beautiful it must be.
