Lower Keys Day Trip
Key West, Florida Keys
About This Activity
The Lower Keys between Marathon and Key West offer a wilder, quieter side of the Florida Keys. Bahia Honda State Park has arguably the most beautiful beach in the Keys. The National Key Deer Refuge on Big Pine Key protects the endangered miniature Key deer. Stop at the old Bahia Honda Bridge for photos and No Name Pub for a cold beer in a dollar-bill-wallpapered dive bar.
Seasonal note: Year-round. Key deer are most visible at dawn/dusk.
