Lightbulb Snorkelers and divers flock to reef off Key Largo

KEY LARGO, Fla. --
A Hollywood boat, a gangster movie and a mangrove swamp are three of the biggest on-land attractions on 33-mile-long Key Largo.

The 30-foot-long boat is from the 1951 movie "The African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. It is suspended in the air on a dock off the Overseas Highway (U.S. 1), Key Largo's main drag.

Not far away is the Caribbean Club, a night spot featured in the 1947 movie "Key Largo" with Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson and Bogart. The town was named Rock Harbor and changed its name to Key Largo after the movie came out.

The mangrove swamps, with wooden boardwalks and an observation tower, sit at the edge of a state park, John Pennekamp.

But Key Largo's biggest attractions are offshore and underwater......

I'll be there the second week of December. WOO-HOO! Warm water, pretty fish, nice wrecks, and chicks in neoprene.
Best of all, the wife likes it too.
