Chances are you have heard of us by word of mouth, for THE KEY, so named by the early Spanish, is still a difficult place to find on the map.

THE KEY is a long-hidden retreat that offers many activities such as sport fishing, deep-sea and fresh water fishing, sunbathing, surfing, golf, sailing, motor boating, camping, and just plain relaxing in a place famous for its casual and relaxed atmosphere.
