Lower Matecumbe Beach

Lower Matecumbe Beach has served as a shoreline community in the Florida Keys since the early 20th century. It lies on Lower Matecumbe Key, a narrow island between Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, within the village of Islamorada. This low-lying coral-key setting is closely tied to boating, fishing and the surrounding reef waters. The Overseas Highway follows a route largely established by Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad, which reached Key West in 1912 before the 1935 Labor Day hurricane destroyed much of the line. Nearby waters are part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, established in 1990. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Florida Keys.
