Getting to Duck Key FL
Escape to the Caribbean without leaving the U.S.
Duck Key isn't your normal tropical island. Yes, it's entirely surrounded by water. And yes, it's isolated from the traffic and noise of everyday life—offering total seclusion, privacy, and relaxation.
But unlike most Caribbean islands, getting to Duck Key and the Florida Keys is simple.
There's no need for a passport. No expensive costs involved with chartering a private plane. And because Duck Key is centrally located between Miami and Key West, there's no limit to the places you can explore.
Duck Key is just a short drive from several major airports, with easy access by car or shuttle. Plus, Duck Key is home to the deep water, full-service Hawks Cay Marina. So it's just as easy and convenient to come here by boat.
BY LAND
The drive to Duck Key might take you all day! No, not because of the travel distance, Miami is less than two hours away. No, the reason it may take all day to drive here is that it's nearly impossible not to stop a dozen times along the way.
Voted one of America's most scenic roads, your drive along the Overseas Highway will journey through the vast wilderness of the Everglades, over historic bridges, and through a chain of Florida Keys islands surrounded by an ever-changing palette of blue and green waters.
There are virtually thousands of places to pull off, capture post card images, and take a stroll by the water to spot parrot fish and eagle rays swimming just feet from shore.
