The Florida Keys are known for a myriad of reasons—gorgeous weather, tropical coral reefs, and world-class fishing to name a few. However, when visiting our stunning archipelago, there is one thing you can’t miss, which are the panoramic sunsets that sprawl out like vivid rainbows across the sky. Imagine sitting on the beach, palm trees swaying, ice-cold drink in your hand, and the most vibrant display of purples, oranges, and pinks overhead as the sun approaches the horizon. Weather expert Bill Cottrill explains the scientific reason behind such magnificent skies—it’s our stellar combination of clouds that create these world-famous sunsets. Low cumulus clouds scattered along the horizon make pockets of colorful shadows and high cirrus clouds made primarily of ice reflect the sun’s rays, resulting in something magical. Pick a prime spot, gather your friends and family, and let mother nature’s display dazzle you.

Challenge your friends and family to an intellectual meeting of the minds, while expertly maneuvering your massive pieces around the board. Games are a fabulous way to connect with your loved ones while having a great time. Immerse yourself in the casual elegance of La Siesta Resort, while snapping Instagram-worthy shots with your new friends, the over-sized knight and bishop.

Increases Activity - Whether it’s a casual stroll on the beach or an active day of water sports and adventures--being beachside activates your body.

Replenish Your Vitamin D - The majority of Americans are Vitamin D deficient, spending time under the brilliant sun is just what the doctor ordered. Make sure to use adequate sunscreen, but let those stunning rays give you a healthy dose of sunshine and Vitamin D.
