Description

Lower Matecumbe Key, part of Islamorada in the upper Florida Keys, is steeped in both natural and historical significance. Known for its ancient Indian mounds and fresh-water wells that once provided crucial resources for seafarers, much of this history was impacted by the construction of the Overseas Railroad. Despite these changes, the key offers scenic Gulf views and welcoming spaces like Anne’s Beach, equipped with accessible parking, restrooms, picnic spots, and pet-friendly areas, making it a peaceful stop to enjoy the Keys’ charm.
