Boca Grande

Boca Grande Key is the largest uninhibited and isolated island located 14 miles west of Key West and is a local’s favorite. The island makes for a perfect rental boat day with it’s beautiful sandy beach. Relax on the beach or grab a floaty and drify down the “lazy river” currents.

Cottrell Key

Cottrell Key is one of outlying mangrove islands 9 miles northwest of Key West within the National Wildlife Refuge. Snorkeling in the shallows of the Out Islands offers a very different experience than the reef. The habitat here is filled with new growth coral, sea fans and sea sponges. You may see diverse marine life including reef sharks, nurse sharks, stingrays, tarpon, parrotfish and butterflyfish.
