Indian Key Historic State Park is a secluded island located off the coast of Islamorada, FL. This 11-acre island holds a rich history as the first county seat for Dade County in 1836 and was once a bustling hub for salvaging cargo from shipwrecks in the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat, visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, sunbathing, hiking, and kayaking through the shallow seagrass flats to reach the island.
Surrounded by a healthy seagrass bed teeming with sea life, Indian Key offers a unique opportunity to explore the remains of an 1830s wrecking community and learn about the profession that was common in the Florida Keys during the early 19th century. With its ancient relics and forgotten shores, Indian Key Historic State Park provides a glimpse into the storied past of this tiny piece of paradise.
