Arrive early at Lorelei or Robbie's for a waterfront table, and book offshore fishing charters ahead. Book the Turtle Hospital's 90-minute guided tour ahead; winter slots fill fast. Sombrero Beach parking is free but limited. Drive slowly after dark; Key deer cross the road and speeding fines are steep. Bahia Honda's Calusa Beach is best at low tide. Park the car and walk or cycle Old Town. Book Dry Tortugas ferry seats weeks ahead for winter dates, as they sell out.
