Sugarloaf Key is set directly on the beachfront, between the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. There are amenities and activities for all the family to enjoy, including eco-tours and sunset cruises, local fishing and beachside fun. In the evenings, dine under the swaying palm trees and sip frozen margaritas at the campsites own pub.

Key West lies just 14 miles south of the campsite where you can hop on to the campsites very own shuttle bus and enjoy this lively and historic town. Visit Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry fortress in the Western Hemisphere or if you enjoy fishing, scuba diving and anything to do with the sea, you really will be in paradise in this water sports haven.

We don't have couriers on site but the staff there are friendly and helpful.

Out and about

A truly great beachfront location, here you can arrange snorkelling, diving, fishing and sightseeing tours. See the 'best of Key West' on the Conch Tour Train, learn about the sea turtles and manta rays on the campsite's own Eco tour departing from the marina - or even hire your own boat, canoe or kayak and go on your own eco tour or do a spot of fishing. The town of Key West itself is about 14 miles away and is very popular for its narrow streets and former residents including Ernest Hemingway, as well as its crammed events calendar. Visit the Key West Aquarium, with its popular touch tanks - including the opportunity to touch a live shark. Then for some peace at the end of a day, why not laze on the private sandy beach, accessed from the campsite?

Attractions

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum

Take an educational tour of the house where Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote his novel A Farewell to Arms. Many of the museum's 60-plus cats are said to be descendents of Hemingway's six-toed cat; accordingly, about half of the felines have extra toes. Learn about the legends and facts surrounding one of America's most prolific authors.

Heritage House Museum & Robert Frost Cottage

Experience true island hospitality during a visit to this splendid Caribbean Colonial House. Original furnishings, rare antiques, and unusual sea faring artifacts are among the treasures collected by seven generations of a notable Key West family. The leisurely tour ends in a romantic flowering garden where the Robert Frost cottage is located and recordings of his poetry can be heard.

Little White House

Former President Harry Truman's home, now a museum. Visit the most historical site in South Florida, the functioning White House of the United States, a fascinating & personal glimpse of the most important man of his time.

Audubon House & Tropical Centre

Although he did not have a home in Florida, John James Audubon spent time here. He captured the birds and wildlife of Florida through his realistic art. He is famous as an American naturalist, ornithologist and artist. The National Audubon Society was founded in his honour.Audubon House wasn't built until after the famous painter visited in the early 1800s, but has a nice collection of antiquities and historical anecdotes, plus simply fabulous gardens.

Key West Cemetery

the Key West Cemetery is one of the more enjoyable cemeteries in the country: tombstone epitaphs include 'I told you I was sick' and 'At least I know where he is sleeping tonight'.

Southernmost Point

The most famous photo-opportunity in town is at the corner of South and Whitehead Sts, a marker at the southernmost point of the continental United States that notes the distance to old Cold War rival Cuba. There are also souvenir stands and the occasional street performer.

Wreckers Museums

These museums commemorate 'wreckers', not to be confused with pirates. These government-licensed workers salvaged cargo from sinking or sunken ships.

The Chicken Store

A tiny archipelago of seven islands southwest of Key West, named Dry Tortugas for the obvious reason that there's no fresh water here. It's a fascinating place, and the sparkling water offers excellent snorkleling and diving opportunities.

Marathon

Marathon is a 10-mile-long island city at the midpoint of the Florida Keys island chain. Locals call their home "The heart of the Keys" for geographic reasons, but also to reflect the old-Keys lifestyle they enjoy among the spectacular fishing, diving, snorkeling and sailing.
