Conch Key

Conch Key lies along the Florida Keys island chain, where low coral islands separate the Atlantic Ocean from Florida Bay. This small Middle Keys community in Monroe County is linked by U.S. Route 1, the Overseas Highway, which carries travellers across a string of bridges and keys. The road follows much of the corridor established by Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad, a landmark project whose original line was devastated by the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Waters around the Keys form part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, with seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reef habitats defining the wider setting.
