No Name Key
ISLAND
Perhaps the best-named island in the Keys, No Name gets few visitors, as it's basically a
residential island. It's one of the most reliable spots for Key deer watching. From Overseas
Hwy, go on to Watson Blvd, turn right, then left onto Wilder Blvd. Cross Bogie Bridge and
you'll be on No Name.
Veterans Memorial Park & Beach
PARK
(MM 39 oceanside; sunrise-sunset; )
This small park has covered picnic tables and good access to the mudflat and mangrove
habitat that makes up most of the Keys' coastline. The views onto the ocean are pristine.
Big Pine Flea Market
MARKET
(MM 30.5 oceanside; 8am-sunset Sat & Sun)
This market, which attracts folks from across the Keys, rivals local churches for weekly at-
tendance. You know how we keep harping on about how weird Keys residents are? Well,
imagine rummaging through their closets and seeing their deepest, darkest secrets - on
sale for 50ยข?!
