State FLORIDA KEY LARGO (regional info) > Tourism & Travel Guide: Key Largo BAYSIDE CAY CLUB Dove Creek Lodge Holiday Inn Key Largo Key Largo Inn Marina Del Mar Resort & Marina Key Largo Mariner's Club Key Largo Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo Suites At Key Largo South of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the people of Rock Harbor recognized a good thing when they saw one and changed the name of their community to KEY LARGO after the success of the 1948 film in which Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall grappled with Florida's best-known features - crime and hurricanes. The movie's title suggested somewhere exotic, but the film, though set here, was almost entirely shot in Hollywood. Nonetheless, Key Largo, and its neighbor TAVERNIER , ten miles further on, make nice enough stops on the Upper Keys. You can almost feel urban stresses and strains slip away as you take in the turquoise sea and waving palms. The Florida Keys visitor center , MM106 (daily 9am-6pm; tel 305/451-9949 or 1-800/822-1088, ), has information on local accommodation, diving and attractions.
