Among Florida’s coastal communities, Big Coppitt Key stands out for its position on US 1 just east of Key West in the Lower Keys. The low-lying island is part of the Florida Keys chain between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, where canals, mangrove-lined shores and open water shape everyday life. The Overseas Highway crosses the key as part of the road link connecting mainland Florida with Key West. Its closeness to Key West also places Big Coppitt Key within the wider orbit of the island city’s maritime traditions and Conch culture.
