ISLAND EXPLORING
Explore the ruins of Indian Key, a bustling center of commerce during the mid 1800's when ship wreckers operated a fleet of speedy sailboats from this famous port. Tangled vines and knurled trees surround old brick cisterns and coral rock house foundations...all that remains of the 30 homes, hotel, warehouses, general store, carpenter and blacksmith shops. Learn the tall tales of pirates, Indians, Spanish treasure, and ship wrecked sailors. Learn the fate of the settlers and wreckers and the heroism of a little boy. View the entire island and distant lighthouse from the 30 foot lookout tower.
