Spend a day in Key Largo’s art galleries and many shops, browsing for that perfect souvenir or gift. Gourmet specialties, clothing, jewelry, decor, pottery, cigars...you’ll find a great selection. History buffs will enjoy the Keys History and Discovery Center where you’ll learn the story of the Upper Keys. A state-of-the-art movie theater features Florida Key movies, documentaries, personal video histories of local characters, fishing guides, and survivors of the Great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, recorded by the Discovery Center.
Then there’s this: “You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and...blow.” Ever since Lauren Bacall uttered these famous words to Humphrey Bogart in the film Key Largo, the island has been synonymous with cinema magic. Little wonder then that the Humphrey Bogart Film Festival is held here annually.
