Tavernier Key
SPECULATEDIsland — Leonida Keys
Quiet residential key between Key Largo and Islamorada, home to a bird sanctuary and a low-rent marina.
Tavernier Key is a fixture of the Leonida Keys, the island chain that stretches south from the mainland into the reef. Quiet residential key between Key Largo and Islamorada, home to a bird sanctuary and a low-rent marina. Expect slow two-lane traffic, pastel-painted conch houses, and the steady background sound of outboard motors and wind.
NOTABLE FEATURES
◆ Reef-adjacent waters
◆ Marina or dock access
◆ Small-town tourist economy
◆ Hurricane shutters on every building
