The community offers everyday conveniences while retaining a rural, low-key personality, with wooded lots, canal-front homes and quiet residential pockets.

Welcome to Big Pine Key

Wildlife, open space and an authentically laid-back Lower Keys community
 
Big Pine Key feels wilder and more spacious than many islands in the chain. A significant portion of the island is protected within the National Key Deer Refuge, preserving pine rockland, wetlands and habitat for the endangered Key deer found only in the Lower Keys. The community offers everyday conveniences while retaining a rural, low-key personality, with wooded lots, canal-front homes and quiet residential pockets. It is an ideal base for nature lovers, anglers, divers and buyers who want breathing room without giving up access to groceries, services and the rest of the island chain.
 

LOCAL DETAIL

The Key deer is the smallest subspecies of North American white-tailed deer. Big Pine's Blue Hole, a former limestone quarry within the refuge, holds fresh water and attracts birds, alligators and other wildlife. Feeding Key deer is illegal and harmful.
 

ON THE WATER

Nearby boat-day favorites include Picnic Island in Newfound Harbor and the backcountry flats toward the Content Keys. Looe Key Reef, reached by boat from the Lower Keys, is a renowned snorkeling and diving destination, but it is a protected reef, not a sandbar.
 

WHERE TO EAT

No Name Pub for a legendary off-the-beaten-path stop; Big Pine Rooster for an easy local meal; and Forks & Stix for sushi, poke and creative Asian-inspired dishes.
