Favorite Places To Eat

We enjoy Lazy Days, Sparky's, Island Fish Market, Sunset Grill, and Herbie's. Sometimes we go to Porky's for a pulled pork sandwich - they are opening a mini golf soon. There is a neat ocean view at Havana Jack in Key Colony, at is slower service - but if you know that going in, you will enjoy yourself there.

Inside Scoop

Sometimes at Sunset we head over to Key Colony Beach to watch the sun go down with the local crowd.
