Pigeon Key, Marathon

Had a lovely afternoon exploring Pigeon Key after walking the Seven Mile Bridge. Enjoyed listening to the tour guide about the history of the key and the railway. Especially loved meeting the little nurse shark in the shark & fish pool. Wished we’d brought our water shoes as it’s mostly rocky coral.

Pigeon Key is a "must do" for anyone visitng the Keys who wants to understand how the first bridge was built and how the people who built it lived and worked, as well as its use as home for the families of the men who operated the bridge for decades. The staff and volunteers are wonderful--Eric was a fantastic tour guide--and the boat ride out and back great fun!
