The Florida Keys are not often affected by hurricanes, but do know that the unpredictable storms are a possibility during the Atlantic hurricane season which runs from June 1 through November 30.

Packing for a vacation in Key Largo is pretty simple. Bring your bathing suit. Of course, you will also need resort casual clothing for dining out, but the dress code for just about anywhere in the Florida Keys is cool, casual and comfortable.

Of course, when you visit Key Largo, it's all about the water.

If you'll be diving or snorkeling from December through March, you'll want to either bring a wet suit or rent one. The water is just a bit too chilly to spent much time in the water otherwise.
