Lower Keys - the Lower Keys are considered to be from the south side of the Seven Mile Bridge or Sunshine Key (M.M. 39) south to Key West.

Parasailing - parasailing involves the use of a parachute and a boat. The rider is strapped into a parachute harness that is attached by a cable to a boat. The rider starts out on the boat. When the boat begins to move, the chute fills with air. The cable is then let out causing the rider to be elevated. The elevation of the rider is controlled by the speed of the boat and the amount of cable that is let out. When the ride is over, the rider is pulled back to the boat.
