Geiger Key Beach

Geiger Key Beach - Key West - Florida - TORsAdventures 01 One of the most common questions I get is “Where do the locals go?”. Funny you should ask … I go to the same places as you right? Well that is not the case for this tiny little beach that my husband and I found thanks to my Mom and her adventure skills. Geiger Key is at mile marker 8 and just north of Boca Chica. The island has a really good restaurant called Geiger Key Marina and Fish Camp. But the place that I am talking about is all the way at the end of a dead end road that if you didn’t know to keep going you wouldn’t but like most islands you have to hit the ocean eventually…. Right? I really like this place there are not many people around and when the tide is low you can walk out a pretty good distance. We Geiger Key Beach - Key West - Florida - TORsAdventures 04spotted lots of fish, hundreds of shells, crabs and even an adult size conch! So if you are just visiting for the week, new to town or planning a trip to Key West this beach is a great stop along the way.

One of my favorite things to do is just sit in the ocean! I know this may sound weird but yes sit! If I had a chair and my cooler next to me I would be in heaven! I could have stayed out there for hours … but as you can see in the above photo my husband is not the tannest person you will ever see and if he just looks at the sun he will get sun burnt!

4th of July in Key West

Key West Florida Fireworks 4th of July TORsAdventures 01Key West Florida Fireworks 4th of July TORsAdventures 02Here are some of the photos of the fireworks from tonight in Key West. We didn’t go over to Smathers Beach but it was MUCH more fun to watch the fireworks from a friends dock on the water! If you ever have the chance to watch fireworks over looking the ocean it is awesome! Next year …. maybe I will see them from a plane!

 

Alabama Jack’s – Key Largo

Alabama Jack's - Key Largo - Bloodline - Netflix - FL Keys - Islamorada - Florida Keys - TORsAdventures 01Scott and I have been a fan of the show Bloodline since it came out last year. Mainly because it was filmed here in the Keys and we get to test our knowledge of US1 since we have made countless trips up and down the Keys over the years. It’s also a very interesting story about a family that has some of the same problems you do and then just a few more! We were on our way home from Miami and I was reading about some of the places that the show was filmed and we decided to stop and have lunch at one of the locations. Alabama Jack’s is where a scene from season 1 was filmed with Danny eating their famous fish tacos. If you ask anyone in the upper keys they will tell you “Oh Yeah! I have been there 100 times and its great!” Well I Alabama Jack's - Key Largo - Bloodline - Netflix - FL Keys - Islamorada - Florida Keys - TORsAdventures 03had never heard of it before reading about it and I am happy we stopped. The food was great and the view was even better! We sat over looking the water and had a good view up and down the canal. Our waitress told us they have a local crocodile that they see a few times a week. Its also a local hangout for the manatees that my husband thinks don’t exist and refers to them as the unicorns of the sea. We LOVE chicken wings and seem to order them everywhere we go just to give them a try. These were really good but just so you know when you order hot …. they mean HOT! It was really spicy. I also ordered the fish tacos and they were delightful!
