Long Key

Narrow wooded key with a state park, a fishing lodge, and the ruined pilings of a 1935 hurricane-destroyed resort.

Long Key is a fixture of the Leonida Keys, the island chain that stretches south from the mainland into the reef. Narrow wooded key with a state park, a fishing lodge, and the ruined pilings of a 1935 hurricane-destroyed resort. Expect slow two-lane traffic, pastel-painted conch houses, and the steady background sound of outboard motors and wind.
