Hotels in Little Torch Key

Paddle through mangrove tunnels where herons stand sentinel and manatees might glide beneath your kayak in waters clear as gin. The neighbouring Bahia Honda State Park offers beaches that locals consider Florida's finest, with snorkelling opportunities just offshore. Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary beckons with underwater landscapes that rival anything in the Caribbean. Sugarloaf Beach provides a quieter alternative when you've had enough company. The tiki bars along the water serve conch fritters and key lime pie that somehow taste better with salt air. Sunset brings a ritual gathering at the water's edge – cameras ready, drinks in hand, as the sky performs its nightly magic show.
