He was not afraid of me and about 3 foot long!

Morning coffee by the hotel.

Couple keys down for another breakfast.

Super bowl party at the local restaurant.
on Marathon, it’s clean and they let you park your truck and trailer on location. There is a nice restaurant right beside the hotel and a scuba and fish charter as well. Not to mention good local breakfast cafe’s everywhere. Look for Baby’s Coffee shop! The best coffee and sweets! Watch your speed, it upsets the locals and they pass illegally all the time on you. Boondocks is another place that had good food and drinks.

I sound like a travel planner haha!
Boondocks, 23.5 MM as I recall. 1 of my FAVORITE places to stop going in and/out of the keys. ALWAYS GREAT food, people, and atmosphere.

We agree, Boondocks is a fun spot. We stayed one Key up a couple of years ago, probably less than 1 mile away, it was our last stop on the way home.

Kiki's on the next Key is also a good place for some food, sit outside, upstairs inside loses the entire vibe of the place. Downstairs on the sand is the spot.

Did you find the Blue Marlin to be a good place to stay? Do you have to pay for parking? Do they offer a free breakfast?

Breakfast has been suspended due to covid and they added a parking fee in 2019

Done that trip a couple of times out of Ft. Lauderdale and it never gets old. If you can take 41 rather than 75 (East west/ west east) its a bit more scenic. 29 which heads north/south between 41 and 75 has some fencing with signs warning of Florida Panthers. Never saw one outside of a zoo; but it gives the ride that mystique feel.

Have fun and yeah sun screen is a must

We are all excited to take that first trip after a long winter. We are planning to take 41 east, hopefully it will be sunny and warm!
