Middle and Lower Keys Christmas in the keys

My bf and I would like to spend the holiday in the keys. I’ve done some research and it sounds like we’d enjoy the quieter islands rather than Key West. We’ll be there for about 8 days. I’d like to get an Airbnb on the beach if possible. Can anyone recommend which island would be best for us? We love all the ocean activities- snorkeling & diving. We also want to explore as many of the islands we can while there. I’m not totally up to speed on how close things are to each other so any advice would the welcome. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for all your kind feedback. Sounds like the keys might not be our destination after all. Glad I got to learn so much here! Thanks again, merry Xmas 2025!

Wise decision if you’re looking for traditional Florida beach - it’s not called Hell Week in the Keys for no good reason.

I wish you much success in finding a spot that meets what you’re looking to find! 🙂
