Influence

Key Lento is primarily based on Key Largo, Florida, the northernmost major island of the Florida Keys.

Some buildings and marina areas also resemble coastal towns such as Islamorada, another island community known for fishing tourism and waterfront resorts.

The name “Key Lento” references musical terminology, similar to the real location “Key Largo”.
