One of the many Keys on the way to Key West, Florida. It was called Cayo Víbora (Snake Key) by early Spanish explorers, a reference to the shape of the island, which resembles a snake with its jaws open, rather than to its denizens.
In the early 20th century Henry Flagler’s Fishing Camp was located here and was a popular luxury destination along his railroad to Key West. It was destroyed by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and never reopened. Today, it’s Long Key State Park, popular for kayaking, hiking, birding, picnicking, flats fishing and snorkeling.
