ABOUT KEY COLONY
One of the Florida Key’s hidden gems, a tight-knit, seasonal island community. Key Colony Beach earned the nickname “Gem of the Florida Keys” years ago because of its charm and true sense of community. It is located in the Middle Keys oceanside, at Mile Marker 53, about 100 miles south of Miami. The island is accessed via a one lane causeway and small bridge off Overseas Highway. Be sure to take it slow when driving in because speed limits are closely monitored. In Key Colony World class fishing and gorgeous snorkeling reefs just off shore, walkable home-town restaurants and locally owned-shops you can walk to
In addition to the residences, there are many home-town businesses on the island to walk or bike to including tasty restaurants, charter fishing fleets, a deep-water marina, boat rentals, a dive and tackle shop, clothing store, gift shop, liquor store, gas station, and a few low-rise boutique hotels.
Recreational facilities on the island include four community parks, two children’s playgrounds, bocce courts, pickleball courts, tennis courts, shuffleboard, and an executive-style 9-hole par 3 golf course. Inch Beach is the island’s secret ‘membership only’ private beach with an oceanfront tiki hut and parking on West Ocean Drive.

Randolph, is resting at 120 feet below the water’s surface and is an advanced scuba diving site just ten minutes from Key Colony Beach.
