Welcome to Duck Key

Distinctive bridges, grand canals and resort-style island living
 
Duck Key is one of the Middle Keys' most recognizable residential islands, known for clear canals, ornate arched bridges and a private, polished atmosphere. The community is composed of five interconnected islands: Center Island, Harbour Island, Plantation Island, Indies Island and Yacht Club Island. A single entrance from the Overseas Highway adds to its secluded feel, while Hawks Cay Resort brings world-class amenities, a full-service marina, dining and recreation to the island. Homes range from canal-front residences with immediate boating access to open-water estates and resort villas, making Duck Key especially appealing to buyers seeking a refined retreat with the ease of an established island community.
 

LOCAL DETAIL

Duck Key was largely undeveloped until the 1950s. Its canals, bridges and island plan were designed to evoke Caribbean and Venetian influences, giving the community an architectural identity unlike anywhere else in the Keys.
 

ON THE WATER

The nearby Grassy Key or Valhalla Sandbar is a popular oceanside stop for shallow-water swimming and social boat days. Duck Key also offers convenient access to the reef, offshore fishing grounds and calm bayside waters.
 

WHERE TO EAT

Salt + Ash at Hawks Cay for an elevated coastal dinner; Angler & Ale for marina views and hook-and-cook dining; and casual poolside or cafe options within Hawks Cay Resort. Reservations and resort access policies may vary.
