Quick Facts

History & Context

Cayo Hueso (Island of Bones) This territory still remained wild for many years after the west was already conquered. Throughout Florida's history, fearless explorers have come here to face an untamed and challenging land; to penetrate lush places full of wildlife, bathed by the sea. Today the sense of adventure remains strong. Sea kayaking has become the latest tourist attraction for environmentalists along Florida's coastline, where you can join full moon dolphin watching tours and more. On land, there are more than 1,600 kilometers of canoeing and kayaking trails that offer fabulous views of the local wildlife. Visitors who enjoy canoeing the Everglades' Wild Waterways often camp overnight on wooden platforms covered by Indian-braided straw huts. And this is just one of the many exciting experiences when it comes to camping in Florida. You can also, for example, camp right on the beach at the Bahia Honda State Recreation Area in the Florida Keys, or at one of the many private seaside camps where basic comforts are available to visitors. Walking and Biking: Land adventures present challenges and variety on the Florida Trail, whose primary purpose is to connect the Big Cypress National Preservation Area in southwest Florida with the Gulf Islands National Coastline in the northwest region, with its 2,000 kilometers of continuous walking trails. Other trails within Florida's national, state and county parks allow tourists to get a closer look at local habitats, whether hiking through woods, swamps or beaches.
