Leaving the seven mile bridge, you enter the Lower Florida Keys. There are no fast food
restaurants, few buildings, as a matter of fact, hardly any businesses at all except on Big
Pine Key.
Bahia Honda State Park and Recreation Area at mile marker 37. With its white sandy
beaches and abundant wildlife, it has been mentioned at times in important travel
magazines as being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The National Key Deer Refuge on Big Pine Key, the largest of the Lower Keys, is a large
expanse of mostly undeveloped pine lands where the diminutive Key Deer live.
There is a unique key in the Lower Keys called "No Name Key". Here you'll see homes that
are completely self-sufficient - there is no electricity on this island. You have to drive through
Big Pine Key to get to No Name Key. When you take a right at the only light on Big Pine Key,
bear to the right and follow the road. On the way, stop in and have some extraordinary pizza
at the No Name Pub. It's right before the bridge that will take you to No Name Key.
The Lower Keys as well as all of the Florida Keys, offers great scuba diving, snorkeling and
sport fishing. Little Palm Island is a resort just off Big Pine Key where celebrities go to 'get
away from it all'. It is accessible only by boat and visitors ride an old restored wooden boat
to reach the small resort.
On your way to Key West, you'll undoubtedly notice one or two large blimps in the sky
around Cudjoe Key. These are actually huge radar blimps that take turns guarding the
Keys from 1400 feet up.
Boca Chica is the location of the Naval Air Station Key West (NAS Key West). This is the last
major landmark you will see before you enter Key West. Commissioned in 1917, the Naval
Air Station was built here when Navy research found it to have the most days of perfect
flying weather of anywhere in the country.
