The Torch Keys are located just west of Big Pine Key and are comprised
of three separate islands know as Big, Middle, and Little Torch Key.
Little torch Key is the primary residential area with the majority
of development nestled into the canal systems just south of the Overseas
Highway on the ocean side. 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 excelent boating access to both backcountry and
offshore for both small and slightly 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, with smaller canals, 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.
This is where you catch the 1920’s style deluxe motorboat to
Little Palm Island to stay or for dinner. It’s also a good place
to rent a boat for exploring on your own.
