Just a short trip from the docks at Robbie’s in Islamorada lies Indian Key, barely 10 acres in size. Much like Pigeon Key in the Middle Keys, the tiny island is rich with history. Only stone ruins remain of the once prosperous community located at Mile Marker 78.5 oceanside.

Take a quick boat ride from Robbie's Marina in Lower Matecumbe across the Indian Key Channel and step back in time onto Lignumvitae Key. A perfect two-hour jaunt for history buffs and nature lovers alike, the island is home to the 1919 Matheson house and one of the few remaining tropical hardwood hammocks in the Keys.
