Located just south of Key Largo, Islamorada is 18 miles long and less than one mile wide. It is made up of four main islands: Plantation Keys, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, and Lower Matecumbe Key. Legend claims that "Islamorada" means "Purple Isle, " and that the name was given to the area by Spanish explorers who noticed a purple hue to the coastline. The truth is the Islamorada was named "Island Home, " after the Pinder Family's sailboat. They settled here in the 1870s after the area was homesteaded. Even though Islamorada has changed since the days of pineapple plantations and turtle farming, it is still a quaint fishing village in many ways. Only now, Islamorada is known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World" because most world fishing records have been set here. Islamorada offers fishing in the backcountry, on the reef and offshore. Indeed, the wealth of fishing opportunities enables the area to support the largest concentration of charter fishing boats in the entire Florida Keys.
