Key Colony Beach is considered the Gem of the Florida Keys. Grab a bike or take a walk down to Sunset Beach or try Havana Jacks for Happy Hour. You are bound to pass many people out enjoying themselves and utilizing the walking/jogging courses throughout the city. There is golf, pickleball, tennis, basketball, bocci ball, horseshoes, a playground and a public bathroom all located within walking distance. Key Colony Beach Farmer's Market is located next to City Hall every Tuesday 9am - 2pm

Sea life, birds, and critters - You are sure to spot many of the local creatures…. Jelly fish, Rockfish, Bull shark, Manatee, Sea Turtles, Tarpon, Snapper, Barracuda, Stingray, Dolphin, etc. You might also find the birds and iguanas hanging out near the pool. The wildlife, world class fishing, and easy access to the water is what keeps us coming back to the Keys..and of course, the sun and year round warm weather.

Fishing - There are quite a few fishing charters right in the immediate area and at the Marina on Sadowski Causeway. There is also a small bait shop. (0.9 miles) If those don’t work out you don’t have to look far. Contact the property manager for Charter recommendations.  If you are looking for a freelance mate, we highly recommend Kyle Kulka. 586-945-4741
