The Florida Keys offer many ways to enjoy your cherished traditions with a tropical twist. At The Islands of Islamorada, you can move your Thanksgiving feast outdoors onto your ground-level loggia and take advantage of the balmy weather — something your friends in colder climates can only dream about!

Not up for cooking? Many Key West restaurants offer Thanksgiving dinner options! The popular Pierre’s Restaurant is offering a special Thanksgiving menu on November 25th for you and your family to enjoy. This delicious meal includes a four-course dinner with reimagined classics, such as butternut squash bisque, lemon thyme turkey, and a warm pecan tart. Visit their website for more information!

Enjoy turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce and a full day of parasailing, jet skiing, and snorkeling with Fury Water Adventures. With so many options packed into one afternoon, every member of the family will be begging for seconds!

For those who wouldn’t dream of missing their favorite football teams play during Thanksgiving weekend, head to Key West’s Old Town and Duval Street for the best bars on the island to cheer on your team.
