Great half day getaway. Rent a kayak from Robbie's and paddle out. Very quiet. Lots of history. We saw nurse and baby hammerheads. Lots of skates and one BIG Ray.

It's really cool to come out to Indian Key. Getting out here can be somewhat of a challenge though. On the island there's very little except some paths and some trees. It's a beautiful little island. The water around the island can be interesting depending on the tides. If the water is flowing fast and you have to travel in the opposite direction in a kayak then moving a few inches out of the current can make all the difference. I think you can get kayaks over at Robbies.

This little state park was pretty cool to visit. We chose to take the boat we rented over instead of kayaking, since it was pretty rough water that day.

We kayaked across, starting from the roadside parking area just north of the bridge by Robbies marina. There was a stiff wind and 3-5ft swells on the ocean side that day but the short trip over was still very easy as the shallow bay is well protected. In low tide it's entirely possible to get stuck in mud. Paddle towards the dock, before you reach it you'll see a sign indicating where they want you to beach your boat. Fascinating history, strange plants, and lots of solitude.
