Indian Key Historic State Park

Indian Key Historic State Park is located in the Florida Keys, just off the coast of Islamorada. The park is named after Indian Key, which was once a bustling settlement in the early 19th century and served as a center for the wrecking industry. Today, the park is distinctive for its rich history and natural beauty, featuring remnants of old structures, including a few foundations and a cemetery, alongside lush mangroves and crystal-clear waters. Visitors to Indian Key Historic State Park can enjoy a variety of activities, including kayaking, snorkeling, and exploring the island's historical sites. The park is accessible only by boat, which adds to its remote charm, and there are no designated parking areas on the island itself. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions and bring their own water, as there are no facilities available. It is advisable to verify hours, fees, and closures on the official state site before visiting.
