La Jolla Resort

A Great Small Resort

At Mile Marker 82.2 on US 1, about 1.5 hours from the Miami International Airport there is La Jolla Resort, a small informal and relaxing facility for families and fishermen. The small apartments are in five villa-like buildings and a deluxe cottage, for a total of 22 units. All have fully equipped kitchens, cable TV and daily maid service. They have refrigerators, toasters and coffeemakers. The rooms are clean with nice full size showers and a dining table for eating or playing games. But you most likely wont be spending a lot of time inside.

One can lie in a hammock by the bay or watch the beautiful sunsets. Paddle a kayak to lunch at a bay-front restaurant, or use one of the facility bicycles and follow the bike path through the Village of Islamorado. While tanning or resting by the bay, one can watch their children swim in the bay, jump off the pier into the clean and clear saltwater or spend the afternoon trying to catch some fish. There is a large barbecue pit to cook your catch, or if you got skunked, some hot dogs or hamburgers from the store a few blocks up from the resort. If the saltwater activities are not your cup of tea then there is a shallow water fresh water pool available for swimming.
