Keys Trip Advice (lemmy.world)

We are planning a trip down to the keys from north Florida. Route is planned to stay inside until Fort Lauderdale and then outside to 7 mile bridge, where we will likely turn and drop anchor in the back country.

We are aiming to do this starting this week to mid July, basically before hurricane season really takes off, but will of course keep a close eye on the weather and reports.

Any advice, things to see, best routes or marinas to avoid?

For the end of your tour, dropping anchor right off the west side of marathon is nice holding. It's a good spot to spend a couple days diving at Sombrero, having some drinks and pie at Burdines, saying hi to the manatees at marathon marina, and loading up provisions for the route back.
