Bay Point

Built around sheltered coastal waters and canal-front lots, Bay Point grew into a small residential community in Monroe County’s Lower Florida Keys. It occupies a low-lying stretch of the island chain between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, where mangroves and shallow marine waters shape the shoreline. The Overseas Highway, part of US 1, is the Keys’ essential road link; much of its route follows the corridor of Henry Flagler’s former Overseas Railroad, which was devastated by the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane. Bay Point reflects the quieter residential side of the Keys beyond Key West, where boating and the sea remain central to daily life.
