Duck Key, Florida
Laid Back Luxury in the Florida Keys
It's a great time to visit the Keys. Restaurants are open, resorts have been renovated, and the beaches are as beautiful as always. Florida's southern tip, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, is known for its laid-back vibe and as a destination for fishing, boating, and scuba diving. The islands of the Florida Keys run southwest from the city of Miami.
Midway down the Florida Keys, you’ll find an island called Duck Key- only 90 miles by car from Miami Airport, 130 miles from the Ft. Lauderdale Airport, and 60 miles from the Key West Airport. Located in the middle of the Florida Keys (mile marker 61 ocean side) - it’s small, secluded, beautiful, and easy to reach by car, boat, or plane. Duck Key has a few telltale Florida Keys features, including aquamarine water all around, glorious sunrises and sunsets, and an ability to lull you into a state of total relaxation. If you are looking for action, there is fishing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or flying around on a wave runner. If you want to venture out from the Hawks Cay Resort, larger keys are just a short drive away.
Duck Key is nestled between two larger keys, Islamorada and Marathon. Islamorada is known for its world-class sport fishing. The “Village of Islands” boasts the largest Florida Keys fishing fleet, and that is why it has been dubbed the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World”. In addition to fishing, there are plenty of other activities, including water sports, kayaking, diving, jet skiing, parasailing, boating, and sunset cruises.
Marathon is known as the heart of the Keys and is right before the Seven Mile Bridge, which leads you out to Key West. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping in Marathon as well as the fun and educational Dolphin Research Center.
About an hour and a half drive away is Key West, which is known as the southernmost point in the continental US. Tour Hemingway’s house, walk along the waterfront or famous Duval Street, eat at the many restaurants, and dance in the many bars – Key West is what you make of it!
