Great trip for kids! From Indian Key Fill on Route 1 (MM78.5), it's an easy one-mile paddle to Indian Key.
Highlights: The island ruins of Dade County’s first county seat, and a Spanish shipwreck offshore.
The island has no facilities, but there’s a guided walking trail of the town ruins, an observation tower and kayak landing marked by a sign just before the tour boat dock, where you can pick up a map/brochure. Ranger-led tours ($1.50 per person) are given Thursday-Monday at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., or you can tour on your own any day from 8 a.m. to sunset (305-664-2540). Good snorleing, particularly off the east side of the island. The San Pedro wreck is located 1.25 nautical miles southeast of Indian Key, surrounded by white mooring buoys.
