Food scene

It never disappoints, if you looking for craft beer and cocktails with awesome appetizers go upstairs to "My New Joint" and if you'd like a more traditional sit down dinner setting just stay grounded at the "Square Grouper"

Que faut-il apporter ?

Dress for all seasons

Believe it or not it can get a little cold here in the wintertime (I know, I know) typically November through mid- March can be a little unpredictable and we may have the occasional cold front slide through so be prepared and dress accordingly. April through October is nothing but shorts and flip-flops!
À ne pas manquer

The Key Deer are must to check out

You'll see them moseying everywhere on Big Pine Key and No Name Key. Be sure to get yourself some photos but keep in mind even though they'll walk right up to you they're still wild animals and need that respect. Oh, and one other thing - please don't feed them.
À ne pas manquer

The evening star shows are incredible

We have minimal light pollution in the Keys so on clear nights, especially in the winter months the sky is unbelievable. Don't for get to look up!
