Live, Lunch, Lounge on French Key Beach
Snorkel, kayak, tour the coast by boat, or just hang out in this marvelous setting doing nothing — because sometimes nothing is *everything*.
In a gorgeous setting of palm trees, mangroves, and powdery white sand, enjoy your day on Big French Key. After a quick boat ride, you’ll have free time to bask in this private slice of paradise. There are three different (included) activities: snorkeling a shallow reef site off a boat, taking a guided boat tour around the mangroves, or kayaking around the coast. With a beach bar on site, grab drinks, savor an alfresco lunch, and take in the magnificent views of the coast and neighboring islets.
