Little Torch Key, FL

The Torch Keys
Google Map

The Torch Keys are located just west (south on the “highway”) of Big Pine Key and are comprised of three separate islands know as Big, Middle, and Little Torch Key. They are named for the torchwood tree. Little Torch Key is the primary residential area with the majority of development nestled into the canal systems just south and north of the Overseas Highway. While there is some residential development on both Middle and Big Torch Keys, these islands are largely protected by state and federal wetlands and hardwood hammocks.

Little Torch offers excellent boating access to both backcountry and offshore for both small and some larger boats. Some of the canals can be tricky to get out of, so it’s surprising to find that a number of residents here keep fairly large sailboats tucked behind their houses and in the wintertime the cool evening breezes and the sounds of the sailboat halyards lull nearby residents to sleep.

Despite its feel of an older neighborhood, a little like some parts of Key Largo, Little Torch prices can be relatively higher, as they tend to reflect easy access to a deep water channel. There is even a marina on the island to fuel your boat.

This is where you catch the motor launch to the famous Little Palm Island Resort to stay or to go for dinner. It’s also a good place to rent a boat for exploring on your own.
